It is called DAVANAT. Check it out at the mfg website www.pro-pharmaceuticals.com They are doing a Cholangio trial. From what I have heard - your husband won't can't qualify. If your husband has cancer all over his body then he might qualify for compassionate use of the drug DAVANAT. There are already 2 patients that got the drug and we haven't had reports back but know that they are still on the drug. See DAVANAT is mixed with 5FU and the body cannot take more than 4 months of 5FU straight but when mixed with DAVANAT it has no toxic side effects. Why? DAVANAT encapsulates the chemo and is a targetting mechanism. The DAVANAT sugar is attracted to primarily cancer cells. The point is ZERO side effects b/c the drug is going to the cancer cells and when it cannot find a cancer cell it doesn't kill anything else and gets passed through your system. I hope this helps but the video are way better. I think we find out in 6 month that this will be the new standard of care for this cancer. If patient recruitment can go quickly.

You would have to call the company. Topgun Fri, 10 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT I am currently being treated for clangiocarcinoma.  Have you seen any results on patients using Davanat? Marty45 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT A lot of people seem to think that certain drugs work on certain cancers.  Well it is true and not true.  5FU is a toxic chemo drug and it works on pretty much any cancer.  Well DAVANAT is mixed with 5FU to make it non-toxic so it breaks the paradigm.  This is basically the "magic bullet"  If you go to the website you will understand how this happens.  So they just started a trial with cholangio patients in Jan.  It is too soon to tell but they do have a ton of results for colon cancer.  It tops the chart as being the most effective cancer treament ever.  Response rates of 70%+ on Stage IV patients.  These are patients sent out to hospice mind you.  If you use the colon cancer result coupled with one patient who lived over a year - this is a no brainer.   The real question you should have is how do we get DAVANAT and how soon can we get it.
