        Just checking to see how you are doing on the reduced dose of 14 mg. My wife started on 5/4 at 24mg. stopped 5/12 because of side effects and started again on the 5/18 at 20mg. Today (5/30) appears side effects coming back and will need to stop for awhile and return at 14mg. How are your side effects and what are they?

            Jan,

             

            My wife, Carol, started E7080 May 2nd and had so many side effects like being dizzy, stomach pain, loss of appetite, mussel pain in arm and leg, etc., that she stopped it on the 12th. Saw the Dr. at UCLA on the 18th, reduced the dose to 20mg and she appears to tolerate it better. Won't know results until the CT at the end of June. We are in Lag. Hls.

                So sorry to read about your sad situation. Didn't know we were neighbors, as we live in Laguna Hills and seeing Dr. Ribas also. We had MRI and other scans last week, and starting E7080 on Monday. I will follow your journey.

                God bless,

                Dale.

                    Vicki,

                    Just joining this blog and haven't seen a posting of the results of your scan on the 8th. Hope is was good news. Anyone else with results of E7080? See my wife's profile on her latest condition and other trials..

                        Thank you for your response and suggestion. Wife's symptoms appear to be getting worse. Decided to stop E7080 today and will be seeing the Dr. on Monday. I'll see if we can reduce the does and remain on the trial and not switch to something else that takes wash out time and more screening, CTs, MRIs, etc.

                            Hello,

                            Glad to read about success and others on E7080. My wife will start this drug tomorrow. She's BRAF pos. did interferon and DTIC without results, just coming off GSK trial since Nov. '10 that slowed tumor growth in liver but didn't shrink as anticipated. We are hoping for the best with E7080. Keep in touch and I pray your scan results produce good results.

                            Thanks,

                            Dale
