I signed a new protocol yesterday. If I am eligible after all the screening tests I start a drug called GDC-0941 on Monday. In the laboratory, this drug "inhibits a key protein called PI3-kinase that stimulates cancer cells to grow." This is a phase-one, dose-escalation study that has been going on for about a year. This means that I will be getting a higher dose than the first participants. Hopefully this is the one that will slow the growth of the stubborn tumors ;-)

HI Elsa
I'm happy they are back at it at MSK...
My mom had stability with Brivanib but she's on a break to get her weight back up and some energy back. So good news and neutral news. I'll take it over the alternative...so we wait some more but we have a bit of hope to hold on to.
best to you
Aubree
