Hi Hellion,

As my MO told me when I was beginning clinical trials, "If this does not work for you, there is always another lily pad to leap to, Froggy." (Although my name isn't Froggy.) While not technically true, there were several trials for my lung mets before I moved on to other treatment. And today there are more and better. All the best to you and your wife.


Be well. Zenda
