He is awaiting an appointment at the cancer clinic. I notice there is a clinial trial on Sutent at the cancer clinic here. Has anyone had any experience with taking this drug and what has been the outcome?  Are there other new drugs that have shown to be effective for this condition?  I've heard that Nexavar may also be helpful. How does one access these new drugs? He is willing to pay for them. He's located in vancouver, canada. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, as well as prayers.  Many thanks, Jerry  jerrym Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
