Just got home from the Royal Marsden Hospital (London) after commencing stage I clinical trial of taxotere combined with omnitarg. Had the IV infusion of taxotere on day one (Wednesday) and the omnitarg on day two. Next cycle (in three weeks) both will be on the same day. Will post results as available. -- John Preston GSX1400 Some Big Kites and a Land board Did they do a baseline, John. Or are they going off your February PSA?

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Some Big Kites > and a Land board Hello John, I hope you are doing fine. I realize you may be undergoing clinical trials and such. I do have my best for you! Big Kites.......Now you have my attention. I build kites and large ones. Small ones too, The last kite was so big, I could not keep it from flying out of my truck as I drove to the kite fare. When I got there it was not enough wind to blow the grass sideways..... I sat there with my "Big Kite" and no wind.....did I feel like a dummy! Anyway, I saved my kites, and will try them for the 3rd time, find a windy day, and let them sail! Good wishes for you and anybody that fly's kites is a lover of life. I hope you get the respect, and the medicine needed to make your life the best. RP 1999 going on 4.5 years. surviving.....I am in a similiar boat!

Good luck with it and, on behalf of present and future cancer patients, thank you for helping to find remedies of interest to us all. Alan Thankyou, John is the first person to ever try Taxotere (chemotherapy) and Omnitarg (antibody) together. If he is ok they will enrol two more patients in two weeks time. We look at the fact that John will shortly be in serious trouble with this cancer if we don't do anything as conventional treatment has failed and he is now hormone refractive. We have no intentions of giving in yet and if this trial turns out to be to bad and not worth the benefits we will simply stop it. My John is a fit lad and loving family man, kind and sweet, l love him to bits and he has lots to stick around for.I will get him to put a link up with photos so you can see us and put faces to names. Take care love Carolyn uk "> That sounds like a very advanced type of treatment. > Good luck with it and, on behalf of present and future > cancer patients, thank you for helping to find remedies > of interest to us all. > > Alan Clinical trials usually seem to bring about good results.
