        Hi Nahmi,

        My husband had his first WBR treatment today, I have just got back from visiting him and he is wiped out, sleeping all the time.  The Dr's have told me that it can have this effect, I am lucky as my husband has been hospitalised because of the fatigue so I know he is in good hands because it is really worrying.

        I wish your Dad all the best,

              Hi,

              My husband started E7080 with Dicarbazine in October.  He has had a good response so far and we understand that the trial is producing good results from across the world.  It is well worth considering, we just have to hope and pray it is durable.

                          Thank you so much for for your reply, my husband is 50 yrs old and was really fit and active (before treatment started!)  He had his first nights sleep last night (no sleep for the last 3 weeks!) , the pins and needles in his feet have slightly eased so I am beginning to think it was not the side effects of the dacarbazine but of the  trial drug. But I feel without this drug he might not have been here today as he had 40+ tumours when he started this trial

                          Your prayers are really appreciated. x
