Please do a search on "regorafenib" in the general search field. There is a current thread, and I believe all of the members here who have been on this new drug have posted about their experiences, which by and large seem not to be too promising. I think you'll get the info you want from that thread. Best of luck, and so nice to have you on the board.

Anyway, just started third week and I don't have a scan yet but Dr. was very pleased with physical exam . He felt the palpable nodes had a least stopped growing. They had been getting bigger almost daily. And the lymphedema in my legs is getting better again so that is a good sign. I will let you know as soon as they decide to get scan confirmation.
PS- I almost did not try regorafebin because of the thread here. It scared me to death. Don't misunderstand. I love the thread and all others like it. The people here give the best advice I get. Better than most of the health professionals. And hearing experiences from people we talk to all the time and not just reading about it in a journal article is great but everyone is Different so I am glad my Dr. talked me into giving it a shot. Besides if I ever get the terrible side effects I can stop it any time I want

from what I have read, it's very new and I only found one study which I am a bit confused about.. "survival rate up 1-2 months.." can someone please clarify the research done on this pill?
