      After 8 weeks I have been taken off this clinical trial because of increased METS in the  liver, ( 12 up to 20). I did have some decrease in size in other areas, but not enough. I am now going to try Temodar.

              Sorry to read that you have been removed from the clinical trial.

              Here is some info about Temodar (Temozolomide):

              I hope that it will be effective for you.

              Has your oncologist said anything about any other possible options that could be considered?

              Best wishes

                  Thank  you, Frank.

                  The oncologist gave me 3 options: IL-2, Temodar IV or Temodar pills. He will be on the look out for any new trials that might help me.

                  How are you?
