Drug Doubles Survival Time - Saltikva

Good luck with discussing with your oncologist at Mayo. I contacted my sister's previous oncologist at Mayo (she is being treated at her home location at MSK) and neither Mayo nor MSK is on board with Saltikva. At least the oncologist at Mayo provided a thoughtful response where her oncologist at MSK couldn't be bothered with me.

@layla97 , can you be more specific about your sister's MDs and their reluctance/refusal to consider Saltikva? Please don't reveal anything personal about your sister's situation, but I'd be curious to know what their concerns were. As I posted above, I'm doing my regular consult with my oncologist this afternoon, and I was going to ask him about Saltikva. I don't think I'm "there" yet, as my CA 19-9 is in normal range and my CT scans show that my main tumor has shrunk, so we're still getting good results with my Folfiri regimen. But having that info could help me frame better questions and get more info. Thanks in advance for anything you can provide.
