I am a proponent of clinical trials and I do hope that you will locate one that will offer Ry extended quality of life. My experience with clinical trials began in 2005 with my initial diagnosis and I am now participating in my third trial. In fact, Erbitux was my clinical trial drug in 2005. If you have not done so, check www.clinicaltrials.gov for a comprehensive list. Hope and acceptance as a mantra guide me daily. Continue on your path of mutual support and courage.


Be well. Zenda
