Re: Alexander from Russia - Dx. Feb 2014

Dear Olga and Debbie, Thank you for prompt replies. Unfortunately all the lesions grew but the biggest progression was in lung mets, and moreover some new lung mets emerged. So the lungs were the reason for me to be out of the trial. The growth of the other lesions is within 20% which is considered ...

Re: Alexander from Russia - Dx. Feb 2014

Dear Olga,

I was very encouraged to hear your opinion!!!

The Cediranib dose of 30 mg per day is standard, at least for the trial in which I participate.

Thank you for support!

Re: Alexander from Russia - Dx. Feb 2014

Dear All, I am sorry for the delay in reply, I was waiting for the first tumor assessment after 8 weeks of participating in the Cediranib trial. The assessment showed that all the tumors except one in the thigh (not the primary one) are stable. The one in the thigh has grown a little. But overall my...

Re: Alexander from Russia - Dx. Feb 2014

Regarding your latest comments. Just FYI my Russian doctor's opinion. Olga, thank you for your link. My doctor is very skeptical about the trial in Russia you mentioned. Debbie, thank you for your link. My doctor says in his experience there was no response to Pazopanib for the second time (after Su...

If you have the link to the article about the second response to Votrient (after Sutent) could you please share it. Bonni, in my case the two factors yo...
