I think your onc has a good plan. Scans every 4 weeks to monitor the sitution

is far better than the onc I was seeimg. He let me go for almost 6 months

without a scan. Recently when I asked him for a new scan he refused. I don't

see

that onc anymore. Dale

Thanks, it helps a lot. I am getting my port on Friday and my MRI and chest

X-ray next week. I hope to start the regimen on the following Monday. I am a

little curious about the pump they put on. Someone said it sounds a little loud,

is it bulky or a little thing? Looking just for info so I know what to expect.

Thanks, my prayers are with all of you and keep up the good spirits.

Hi Nick,

I am on the Double-Blinded study. I am currently being treated at University of

Pennsylvania Hospital Abramson Cancer Center. I was asked to participate by my

oncologist.

Thanks,

I am not sure originally it was nicknamed Veg F.(bevacizumab) I was not

aware it

is available in pill form. I know of Velcade(bortezomib) and a trial of

BMS-247550

and C1-1040 because a neighbor has stableized pancreatic cancer and has

survived for 5 years. It used to be a death sentence,she had multiple

myelomas but

still is on a chemo regimine. She has used some of the combos the onc. has

used

on me. Camptosar and celebrex plus others. Maybe someone else can fill you

in.

I am going to ask tomorrow if the Avastin is available in pill form,whyI was

not told.

Insurance covers pills,but we have to pay20% of the injectables. Stay

positive,

everyone will pull for you. Hugs and prayers Nick & Jane. There are always

options

for today and for tomorrow,you just may have given me a new window of

opportuinty. Thank you
