Options for unresectable tumor with SMV involvement

Hello @mnewland99
I have about 3 weeks left in the first cycle. I am doing the “doublet” RMC 9805 and RMC 6236. After chemo wash out my marker rose to 233. I’ll find out late today where it stands now after a month of these drugs. Side effects are an annoying rash and diarrhea/constipation. The latter being part of our life anyway-right?
Results of this trial for those with KRAS G12D seem very positive. Tumor shrinkage and less or no progression. Probably not a cure, but a break from toxic chemo.
My markers went from normal to a slow ride as yours. I knew I was becoming resistant even though scans weren’t showing it; so I began looking in February. My April scan showed 1 possibly two tumors as suspected. These allowed me into the trial.
You are smart to be thinking ahead. We all must be doing that. Fortunately, there are back up plans

Hello
I was just qualified for the chemo pill Sotorasib because of my gene marker KRAS. I should be able to start today! I’m excited to see if I have metastasis to my lung clears up. Happy to end the gem/abrax. My blood work could never recover after chemo. I’m hoping the side effects are lessened.
Anybody been on it for a while?

Che bello! Sono curiosa di sapere come va dopo la cura. Tienici aggiornati. Ma la sperimentazione in quale ospedale la stai facendo.
Io dall'italiano sto cercando di sapere circa la possibilità di partecipare per mio fratello.
Ma la vedo molto complicata.... Spero che a settembre sia possibile farla anche in Europa.
Un caro saluto e in bocca al lupo!!
