Help - Phase 1 clinical trIAL

[clisa]

Well today was not a good day - the results of my recent ultrasound showed increased growth of my existing tumours and new tumours in my liver. I have just completed 3 sessions of Xeloda. Prior to this I have received taxol, herceptin, carboplatin and AC regimens with no positive results.

Today I am told I am running out of options - my oncologist says she could try navelbine with herceptin but there is only a 10-15% chance of that working.

I have been offered a chance to participate in a Phase 1 trial for ARRY-334543. Is anyone familiar with this drug? It feels like my last chance.

Getting really scared here - surgery and radiation are not options because of the amount of tumours. It is only 8 months since my intial diagnosis and this is going way too fast.

Anyone got any advice? I am in Canada so lapatinib, avastin and abraxane are not options. I should be happy I feel great for someone who is so sick - showing no symptoms of liver failure even though my largest tumour is 7cm now. Hard to beleive this is happening to me.

Help please.
