Looking to connect with anyone out there doing a clinical trial at U of MI CC named AT-101 with Docetaxel? My husb has SCC BOT met to his lungs - went thru 2nd round of chemo last winter that helped shrink 25% and stabilize. Had a 2 mo. break, then CT showed tumor growth again. Restarting chemo this week - possibly this new trial, or could go back on the Alimta/Carboplatin he had success with (although brief). We are just scared going with this new trial drug, but if it could be the ONE to do the job and halt this evil in his lungs we feel we have to try.
The prognisis stinks, he will be on chemo the rest of his life, however long that may be.
