It's just finished the 3rd phase of trials so is waiting full FDA approval. Duke has a special authorization to take on patients who have run out of chemo options & have a RAS mutation. I have a K-RAS mutation so waiting for a consultation with Duke to try & get into this program.

Hello Marsha,
I am truly wishing you success with your consultation. May I ask who Duke is? Is he an Oncologist? Thank you, Brenda

@nanoya80 just found out the chemo is not working, so I am off all treatment. Waiting for a consult to see if Duke will take me on for the new oral drug. Not in any pain, so I am doing the same and enjoying each day!

@gmapri I don’t know what Duke is however I am sending you all the love in the world. Ovarian/peritoneal cancer is tough isn’t it? I have no mutations etc so targeted options are out for me. I’ve had a power port inserted as my veins are almost nonexistent so I’m hoping this will help. Also good for those iodine scans.
Please treat yourself gently and know you are not alone.
