My clinical trial scrapped for now

I met with my interventional radiologist today. He wants me to wait on the clinical trial a few months. He assured me today that he could "for sure" ablate all but one of my tumors and he felt like he could get the other one but wasn't going to say until he tried. I'm being scheduled for treatment next week. he says I should then get back on conventional chemo asap. I will do clinical trial after that. I have a world class radiologist so hopefully I'll be mostly disease free next week.

There is also some news out about all of us unaffected by erbitux and panitnumumab. A company is offering a clinical trial for a new drug that will bind to the antibodies to make them effective in KRAS mutated tumors. This is going to be a very quick study, if the drug shows promise in the early part of the phase it will be fast tracked to the market.
