Met with a doctor for a clinical trial today!
I posted before that we went to an appointment last month for my dad, 76m, (stage 4 KRAS mutation) to discuss next steps for his cancer treatment as the chemo stopped working. I thought he had only ever been on FOLFOX but at that appointment we found out it was not only FOLFOX that stopped working but FOLFIRI stopped working also. It’s in his colon, liver & lungs. He still is active, gets up and goes to work every single day he does construction & farming (self employed).
He just got into a center for clinical trials and they’ve applied for one for one. We’re so anxiously waiting and praying. The oncologist said if this one doesn’t come through, he has 2 more trials they can apply for. We’re hopeful as he said they’ve had promising results for people who have even done like 5 types of chemos before. He seems to have so much life left. He’s not ready to give up yet. Anyone else onto clinical trials right now?
