Stacker ..read this article on IRCD developed by UCSD...this added to Abraxane has remarkable effects. I would contact them about trials.

Hello Stacker,

Excellent!!

The treatment is having a very positive reaction for you and long may this continue.

I hope you get some more reactions from others that have tried this drug for more info and experiences.

another quick update
latest ct scan (3rd one since chemo started)shows the largest lymph node with more signs of shrinkage and everything is stable. it has shrunk from 35mm (at the start of treatment) down to 29mm,wish it would shrink faster, but i guess slow and steady wins the race.

would love to hear from anyone else taking Abraxane and compare notes.
