I had a reduction in tumor size and bought some time to find a clinical trial about which my MO was enthusiastic. That trial with Alimta gave me over a year with success before my tumor grew. Another trial with Avastin gave me another year with success in tumor shrinkage. Since that time I have had pulmo treatments and radiation. My last treatment was in August 2013 and I have NED. The cancer is at bay.
Be well. Zenda
