We had an appointment yesterday at Huntsman with the oncologist. We discussed what has worked in the past and what has changed since that time.
The Chemo that was used last time is still the preferred chemo. This was successful in reducing the tumors. So that would be an option.
There is a clinical trial going on for a pill that is a target drug. This drug would target the tumor and block or cut off the supply that allows it to grow. This would be a study to see if it works in our case. This is not like chemo and does not have the bad side affects of chemo. The drug is Sorafenib. This is a website that describes the drug. http://www.chemocare.com/bio/sorafenib.asp
We are hoping to hear from the person that sets up the trial today. We hope that trial is still going and that we qualify.
This would be an answer to prayers, It would not make me as sick as chemo, and it will allow for me to go and be with our girls when they have their babies next month. Angieogenisis is something that I have studied and I take OTC herbs and vitamins to reduce the growth of tumors. We continue to pray for the cancer to be removed.
Thank you all for your continued concern, love, support and prayers. You are all so appreciated.
