Thinking of you Terry. I hope you are able to be comfortable. The clinical trial sounds encouraging - I'm hoping for the best possible outcome for you. It takes courage to do a clinical trial - thank you for taking this on. The research you are helping accomplish will help many - whether it works or not. Kudos to you for your participation.

Terry,

So glad to see those words "I'm still here". Never give up hope, it's amazing how things can change in the medical arena. A cure could be just around the corner, so we all just have to stay alive until they find it. Hope you get into the clinical trial or that darn regorafenib drug comes out soon!!!

God Bless you and may God's healing light shine upon you.

Take care,
Patti
