Had a teleconference this morning with a doctor at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, MD. The drug for the trial is called ProAgio. He said it works by cutting off the blood flow and nutrient system. One patient they performed a biopsy after using the drug and the tissue was necrotic. Sounds like it killed he cancer to me. He still wants to see my latest CT and speak with my Oncologist, but he said I look like a good candidate.
As for my current chemotherapy treatment, we think it has run its course after 13 rounds. We stopped the Oxaliplatin 2 rounds ago due to numbness and tingling I have in my hands and feet. Because of that, my CA-19 numbers are going up and the cancer is growing albeit slowly.
