dad has ben taken off the drug trail because he was suffering too many side effects, the consultant said that many of his patients on this trial were suffering the same and the benefits did not outway the side effects.
we were originally told if he went on this drug trail there was no going back but evidently something happened because he has started back on sutent today.
Although i am glad he will not suffer so much, this drug was supposed to work where sutent did not so that leaves me feeling very hollow, what next? is there anything else or are we waiting for those words to be uttered again like they were this time last year.
I'm fed up with trying to be strong and look at the positive, sorry i know its christmas and no one wants to be depressed but this all started the day before christmas last year and 1 year on we seem to have only gone in a complete circle!
