Has anyone entered a clinical trial at the national cancer institute at Bethesda?

Not personally, but the hospital i work at works extensively with them.  I would have no worries or second thoughts about entering one of their trials if that was my situation.  We actually use a few of their protocols here.  Hope that helps a little.  :)

Risks?\nAs with any surgical procedure, there is some risk involved. Serious complications are rare but could include anesthesia reactions, infection, transfusion reactions, or injuries at the needle insertion sites. The NMDP and its centers take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the donor. A number of personal health questions are asked when individuals join the Registry to be sure they are in general good health. Before actually becoming a donor, a volunteer will receive a thorough physical examination.\n\nDoes marrow donation hurt?\nFollowing the procedure, donors can expect to feel some soreness in the lower back for a few days or longer. Some donors have also reported feeling fatigued and having some difficulty walking.

Best of luck to her.  I am an 8 year survivor of ovarian cancer.  Have you checked out the Gilda Radner foundation.  It is a national register for people with ovarian cancer.

Stage 4 colon cancer has been researched.  I was recently involved in a clinical trial using monoclonal antibodies in patient's with stage 4 colon cancer.  The drug has now been approved for use and is under the name of ERBITUX.  Monoclonal antibodies are becoming the new trend in treating cancers.  A great website to find where some colon cancer trials are going on is at http://www.nci.gov--Good luck in your search!

My dad is currently in a study at Yale University in New Haven. I believe it's sponsored by Merck. I know the same study is taking place at 5 or 6 other instutitions around the country.  It's a 27 month study where he gets 6 or 9 (forgot which--AD is heretary you know) treatments and monthly follow-ups.  The drug is given via IV. It's supposed to stop more plaque from being deposited. A few years ago it was in the news as an "Alzheimer's vaccine".\nI have more information on the study in my blog.

I am also doing research because i would like to go. All of my friends that have gone have said that it is an AMAZING experience and EXTREMELY worth it. I highly suggest going. I believe they offer a few scholarships...you may want to look into it.

So far, I've only survived it once.  But I heard it always comes back.  When I was at radiation, there was a lady there who was on her 6th NHL recurrence.  I had CHOP/R x 6 and 18 radiations. I wish you all the best.\nHere's the site with the best info:\nhttp://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls\nTake care!

Having been a child of renal problems and a kidney transplant receiptant in my adult years, I would suggest that you contact the local chapter of the National Kidney Foundation in your area. They may be able to give you information about clinical trials and they may be able to get your son into a trial. \n\nYou can find your local office of the National Kidney Foundation by going to http://www.kidney.org/ and clicking on the Find local offices and events link in the upper right hand corner. I wish you and your son the best of luck.

Yes.\nGod brought me through cancer this summer. I was diagnosed in May. I had to wait upon the Lord until early July when a surgeon removed my cancer and scraped around it to see if there was any left.. I had to wait upon the Lord again until the end of August when I heard the results from the surgeon. They were negative so  am cancer free with no need for chemotherapy or radiation thereapy. PTL!\n\nThe Lord brought to my attention a fun paid position in early September to which I applied. I got the position and am very happy there feeling that I am doing  ministry for the Lord as I feel it is His will for me for me to be in that position.\n\nToday the Lord kept me safe as I was driving about doing errands and shopping.
