Hi Dunnc, I have metastatic GIST, with METS through out my pelvic, intestines areas and also my liver. My primary was on the small intestine, I had 2 small intestine resections. I'm about to start Sutent as I didn't response to Glivec. Did they do a biopsy on your tumour? Have they mentioned anything to you about going onto Glivec, which is the first line of defence? Naomi

Hi Naomi It is wonderful to connect with yourself and Others with gist. Your helpful tips and experience are a wealth of knowledge. I wish you all the best on this journey. I will see if I can be referred to your oncologist at Peter Mac. My oncologist In Geelong hasn't the expertise in this area. Thank you for your help.
