Hi Jill

I have been away from the computer for a few days and am sorry for the late reply. The ET-743 works for about 1/2 of those that try it. You must have been on 2 previous chemos to be eligible I believe. Of those who do respond 85% get stabilization and 15% get shrinkage. It has been easy for me to take.
I have about 40-50 tumors but all are small most under 2 cm and the largest is 3.5 cm. Because I have so many I am inoperable but am doing very well and still ride my exercise bike 10 miles about every day. If the drug does work there is apparently no limit on the # of treatments one could take. I understand that some have been on it every 4 weeks for over 2 years. I hope this is helpful.

Sincerely,
G
