Russ. So glad to hear that you are doing good!. The last message that I read from you had been a while. I live in central Mo. I had my surgery, radition, and chemo done at Barnes-Jewish in St. Louis. Since my therapy ended in Feb. of 2001 I had been doing good but, when I went back for my 6 month check up this past Sept. they found the spot on my liver. I went back for a triple phase ct of my liver and they found 3 more smaller ones. My oc said that if I had only one that I would be a good candidate for surgery but, since they found more that wasn't a good option. This new drug that I think my oc was talking about is called SU11248. The article I got this from was from Medical News today and it was dated 5-17-05. I don't have a clue if this is the drug he was talking about or not but,the way the article read it showed some promise! I'm going to ask him about it next Tuesday (1-03-06) I just had another ct last week and he is supposed to give me the results. I've been working since I got off of chemo and radition. I can't say that I'm back where I was before all of this started but, at least I'm still here thanks to all of the prayers and blessings! I was 47 when they first found this and I just turned 53 the 10 of this month so I have been very blessed. I hope whoever reads this will find some kind of comfort knowing that there is always hope! So please don't give up! I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I'm a very strong believer in the power of prayer! You are in mine and my family's also. Thanks for answering and stay well. I'll keep you posted. Doug
