Her red blood cells are off and so is the white and now she is anemick  I guess my question is . What can we expect next if this does not work? My wife said she will not have anymore surgerys and I think she is tired of being sick every day. The people at Duke have been great! and I think that my wife would have not made it this far if we would not have went there but its hard to get any info from them as to what is next. It would be nice to just have a list of if this don"t work we will try this and so on but nobody will do thisand                                                                                                              1william Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Here is a list of clinical trials at duke:http://www.cancer.duke.edu/ClinicalTrials/AdultScientific_pr http://www.cancer.duke.edu/CTrials/index.php?ST_iFFCategory=1100&Type=Adult&Trial=Brain+Cancer Ken s Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
