Update On Cody

2 large tumours shrunk after first lot of chemo but there has been a 50% increase in the number of small ones appearing in the lungs.

Since then he has undergone more pin point radiation on the 2 large tumors in the lungs over 2 weeks as well as the primary tumor in the foot.

As well at the same time another week of chemo.

Now we wait and if all goes well we start the drug trial BMS754807 in 2 weeks.

Oral tablet taken daily.

First week in hospital then 3 weeks daily visits to the hospital and then if all goes well he can come home and finish the next 5 months with us.

It will be a long 4 weeks so far away from us but week have to keep working.

Lets hope we have a good result from the trial

I don't know anybody who tried this BMS754807. I just read it is a IGF-R1 antagonist and some synovial sarcoma express the IGF receptor 1. Do they check if the tumor is actually expressing the receptor before signing the patient for the trial? Good luck !

I do not believe so.
We will find out more on Friday when we see the specialist and he starts the trial.
