Hey Mike... I am so sorry to hear this news. As you said... "lots to think about" and you may feel differently about Phase I/chemo in a few days or weeks after your next scan. Will be thinking of you, Liz, and your family in the weeks ahead.

And for the record... I echo Sara Anne's response exactly (even though her spelling is atrocious!) ;)

Best wishes... Catherine

Got my scan results yesterday. After two all clear scans, I was not so fortunate on this one. Several new lymph nodes have problems. I had to drop out of clinical trial.

I go back in 6-8 weeks for another scan to see the rate of progression. Certainly was not the best way to start the year! They are all super tough to be able to biopsy so we won't bother.

Different kinds of chemo is an option as is a phase I study. That's the one not tried on humans yet.

Been through the chemo route already and I don't plan to do it again. Not sure if I want to mess with a phase 1. Likely, we will just be doing palliative treatment.

Lots to think about. Thanks for all the support for so long!
