Hi there...I have malignant metastatic insulinoma (islet cell carcinoma). I see Dr. Yao at MD Anderson and I am starting hopefully the RAD001 study next week. I was diagnosed in aug 99, had 8 mos of chemo, the whipple etc surgery by dr. doug evans and dr. vouthey at MDA. Had a yr of remission, recurrence in the lymph nodes, temedor/thalidomide; carboplatinum, abraxane and avastin and now this new drug. Oh yes, I also went to the Netherlands 4 times for the LU-octreotate therapy which was very helpful. If you or anyone has any questions and wants to correspond,email me at --- Message edited by CancerCompass staff: for personal protection, email address removed.

I have been a patient of Dr. Yao's for over three years and completed the RAD001 in March '07. It worked well for about a year and now the tumor's are growing again. I'm very interested in your experience in the Netherlands. Any information you can provide regarding LU-Octreotate would be appreciated. Also, how was the treatment helpful?
Thanks,
Jack
