It seems mine is growing slowly. But when I see Pet and nodules growing 2x size since Aug 2014 and SUV growing.
I was in a clinical trial with Avastin and Torisel, effects difficult for me and didn't work.
Anyone know of molecular therapies working. Told maybe released soon, supposedly easier on you then chemo so. Looking for info.
