anyone had this yet? Apparently about 800 folks have and it's in a stage 3 clinical trial. I'm supposed to start it May 16. It's a targeted therapy for colorectal cancer, and has shown some promising results. Let me know! Brian.

Yep, I've seen this web site. I'm stage 3c; 6 of 19 nodes involved in a sigmoid colectomy. I'm 43 and other than this episode I've been in good health. My onc said he really wanted me to try it; one other fellow around my age is being treated at the same cancer center. I'll keep ya posted! B.
