Thanks for posting. Sounds really positive. Let's hope that this is the magic silver bullet.

Thanks. You are definitely not leaving No_stone_unturned. No pun intended!

Very interesting. I will be looking into every aspect of this method and also asking my oncologist about it. I'm actually excited.

Great news but one has to wonder WHEN? Here in oz anything new is put on a shelf somewhere.

[fast_eddie in reply to ARIES29]

That's always the big IF with these brave new therapies. Then there's the question everyone is afraid to ask "how much does it cost?". Trying not to be cynical here.

You could get a B visa and move to LA for the duration of the trial.

I read this two days ago. This was one of two different topics that showed promising possibilities to kill cancer. These articles give me a mental boost and higher degrees of hope.

[ARIES29 in reply to GeorgeGlass]

Lets hope it does more than just give us a mental boost. Bring it on I say!

[GeorgeGlass in reply to ARIES29]

Exactly, i just saw a study this week from 2013, showing that intermittent use of zytiga was not effective than continuous. Well then why aren’t the doctors following that protocol. In sick of study results being promising and then nothing ever becomes of them.

Thanks for posting. Does anyone have information on how difficult it is to be a "guinea pig" for phase one of a clinical trial. They keep increasing the dosage to see how much a human can tolerate of their new miracle treatment, right?

[No_stone_unturned in reply to Scoofer33]

I’m in a phase 1 trial now. It’s not that bad. The worst part is the monitoring that has to take place; ekg monitor, blood draws every couple hours. It’s just a lot of sitting around. For my trial, I’m there once a week for 4 hours and once a month for the entire day. Imo small commitment for staying alive.
