Jan   Hi Jan, I am a 72 years old women. With high-grade bladder cancer. I had my bladder removed in 2001 but the cancer returned in 2006 and mets to my liver. I am in stage III/IV cancer. I am on a clinical trial at the University of Michigan and taking a drug in pill form called "sutent". It is helping and holding the cancer at bay for the last 7 cycles in taking the drug. But it has many side-effects. Hope this information help. Remember the enemy of cancer is hope. Peace, Mary Jane. Mary Jane M. Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
