Hi
Dad is on his 10th round of Trabectadin very little effects - CT scan after 3 months showed shrinkage, just had another scan now and waiting for results on 10th Nov. Some patients have been on 30-40 treatments and still going (every 3 week schedule). They said it would continue until progression/toxicity. Dad has only had one delayed as neutrophils low. They did joke was he actually on chemo last time we went as he presents fit and well. We were told it’s not curative but will hold it back. We are UK based but I’m taking him to Tampa end of this month to meet his grandchildren he’s never seen so fingers crossed all goes well. Good Luck to you xx

Genmalt:

I do appreciate your communication and wish him the best.
From lung metastases,
how many did they find, and the sizes of the tumors?

According to the oncologist at Fred & Hutchinson, they really do not have data on which chemo or any chemo will be effective against UPS.

One suggestion for treatment proposed was proton therapy.
I will be having a result of a chest scan next week.
