Thanks so much for this information. I was given this impression by our physician that this was a completely new study,not one that has been going on for several years. It's interesting that you didn't have much in the way of side effects. Our concern is that my huband, when he was treated, had 7 weeks of chemo, 24 hours a day in the hospital, as well as 7 weeks of radiation, so to say that he is still pretty depleted is an understatement. He just finished treatment in June, 2008. He's barely recovered and now I feel that the doctor is trying to push him into another year of chemo and I think this could do more damage to him than anything. I'm terrified that if he did the trial, he'd just get sicker.
