I haven't been following the daily back and forth lately; been too busy and depressed hearing some the SOS. Here is a thread from Inspire, a cancer website. This thread is regarding someone with NSCLC in the Bavituximab trial. This was posted on Inspire on 10-30-11 and I apologize if it has already been posted here and discussed. Here is the thread and the link:

Update on my Dad

After battling a bad chest cold for 3 weeks, Dad went in for his last round of chemo last Friday and they decided he didn't need it. He is anemic and they were afraid the chemo would do more harm than good. I was relieved, as he has been so sick I wasn't sure he could take it. He has been on a trial and will continue that once a week and they will keep an eye on everything. He has been stable for awhile now and some of the smaller tumors have disappeared. We are happy with stable and hoping he will be feeling better soon now that he is off the chemo and once his red blood cells come back. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Praying he'll continue to improve now that he's off chemo. What trial is he in? Take care, Judy

Thanks. The trial drug he is on is called Bavituximab. It appears to be having good results for those in the trail so far.
