Not all k-ras mutations the same

jengen12

My mom was diagnosed with K-ras mutant. Both avastin, oxy and cpt-11 stopped working. We went for second opinion and found my mom has k-ras 13 d and now supposly this certain mutant is sensitive to Erbitux.. Shes been on it now for 4 weeks and the side effects have been pretty good with it plus cpt 11.

That's Good to Know
This is a good example of getting a second opinion. It's also a good example of a poor doctor just blowing a patient off.
Good luck to your Mom
