Connie B Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Hi All, Just wanted to share this with you all as well. Tonight at our Group meeting the Onc Doc that came to speak to us also told us to keep your eyes and ears open to possible NEW treatments, etc for lung cancer. The BIG Cancer Confrence is the end of this Month and he had HIGH hopes that we should hear some GOOD things about lung cancer treatments, and issues. I sure hope so!! Warm and Gentle Hugs, Quote

Candy Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 I would just like to say "DITTO" to Ginny's post! Quote
Carleen Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 I am hoping and praying with all I've got that there is some good news and advancements in the treatment of lung cancer. I am copying Ginny, and everything is crossed. In fact I think I'll wear my hair in braids until then. Carleen Quote
Peggy H Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 By the "big conference" do you mean the annual ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology)? Every year there are daily announcements of new cancer breakthroughs during the time of this conference. they usually post them on their website: http://www.asco.org My sister's oncologist also told us (yesterday) that they expect results of a trial for bevacizumab (sp?) on colon cancer to be presented next week & then it will be "fast-tracked" by the FDA & should be available for my sister to take "off label" (for other purposes). I believe it is a monoclonal antibody - so we're pretty excited about the possibility . . . Quote
