I received a notice from Cancer Compass about this drug. Please look up the company that has done the research/developement on it - Marshall Edwards Inc. They were given 16.8 million to research and develope a chemo drug for bile duct and pancreatic cancers. Triphendiol causes tumor cell death and slows growth. It also sensitizes tumors to chemo treatment.
The University of Alabama @ Birmingham lead by Professor Ewan Tytler has conducted the research, along with Dr. Xiaohong and Professor J. Anthony Thompson
I'm so broken hearted over this. I looked it up on the internet and found a press released dated 1/22/08 - 8 days after my husband, my Love died from bile duct cancer. I can't help but think that this research was going on while my husband was alive and maybe it could have helped him. We would have tried anything! I even asked if anyone knew a good witch doctor?? We were willing to travel to the ends of the earth for help. We had reached out to the Mayo Clinic, Cancer Centers of America, MD Anderson and our doctors for any trials for bile duct cancer. They all told us there weren't any at this time. And now I find out there was research going on only 200 miles away. I cried and screamed as I read the reports and the success they are having with this drug. So I had to share with ya'll. I hope that this information will help you in your quest for a cure or for more time with your loved ones. Unfortunately, it came too late for Jim and I.
Never, never give up hope. Without hope you have nothing!
I miss my Love more each day.The pain and loneliness is beyond description.
I hope this information helps. Because that's what Jim would have wanted. He was always more concerned about his fellow man verse himself.
Make the best of the life you have been given. Play the cards you've been dealt - even if it means you have to bluff to win all the chips! Jim was a very good poker player. He and "the Poker Boys" have been playing every Thursday night for 20+ years. Unfortunately, we were dealth a very bad hand and all the bluffing in the world didn't help us win this one.
