My name is Ben Shtang from Israel.
I am ill with metastatic GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor) in a very advanced and serious condition.
I was operated twice and treated with series of the most advanced medicines which did not help and the disease is progressing rapidly.
My oncologist consulted leading physicians and Gist experts in the USA and Europe who unanimously pointed at Nexavar
as my next and only chance for cure or at least remission.
The cost of Nexavar is in between 6,000 to 8,000 dollars per month which are not within my financial means.
I hereby ask each and every one of you for help:
If you have any leftovers of NEXAVAR (200mg pills), and are ready to donate them to me, please let me know.
May God bless you all

There is a trial of Nexavar ongoing in GIST in the US. The person to contact is Dr Karen Wending. She might be able to suggest how Bayer or Onyx could help you.
Do not forget that Nexavar is not approved (yet) in GIST. However Gleevec (Novartis) and Sutent (Pfizer) are. These firms might have compassionate programs. Infinity Pharmaceuticals has just presented at ASCO some very interesting data. Phone numbers of all these firms are on Google.
You might gain additional information on mode of action of these drugs at http://www.healthvalue.net/Homeengl.html
All my very best wishes,
Tony
