In the local Austin newspaper there is the story of a Mrs. Topfer who had pancreatic cancer two years ago but was able to get into an Erbitux trial. Just FWYTIMBW. I have never had any interest in IMCL.

"I told the oncologist when I first met him, that when I came to this hospital, I had a benign tumor that needed to be removed," she recalled. "Now I'm being told that I have inoperable, terminal cancer, and I don't accept it. It's as simple as that." (Ed. - Gee, if only . . . .)

She insisted on having a hysterectomy to remove her ovaries. After that surgery, in November 2000, she was accepted into an experimental drug program at M.D. Anderson.

The drug was Erbitux, which along with another drug, stopped the growth of her tumor.

Erbitux has been in the headlines recently, * * * leaving little hope Erbitux will be approved in the near future."
