Hi. I’m halfway through second line chemo following a recurrence ( diagnosed Jan’20, finished chemo sept 20 then Avastin till june’21). I was on the Icon 8b trial and now have been offered the Icon9 trial. Am very pro these trials but torn between the possible benefits and what seems like a huge time commitment. is anyone else on this trial, or have more experience of this versus standard treatment/monitoring?
I’m due a meeting with my Onc next week when I will get more idea of my current status and next steps but they seem to want me to sign up before then…
thanks x
Hi Rikl123
I'm not a member of this group but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I've done a search in this group for 'Icon9' to see if there were any previous posts which mention it but drew a blank I'm afraid. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that no one else here is on it just that they haven't posted yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list.
Do come back and let everyone know what you decide to do and how you get on if you do the trial.
