Thankyou Peanutz for your feedback. I dont think we will go down the clinical trial path either, mainly because of the uncertainty as to which treatment she would actually receive. 2 in 3 chance of receiving the LY2157299 but still doesnt feel like we would have any control over her treatment. Luckily so far mum hasnt had to take Dex so I guess thats a good thing.
Hope your partners scan went well! :)

Hi all, I have joined this site and what a wonderful
support network seems to be going on here.
My mother was diagnosed in December 2011
and has had surgery, radiation and five months
of 5/23 chemo. We just found out on Monday
that last scan shows what they are pretty sure
is a new tumour on the right side of her brain.
She is having a PET scan tomorrow to confirm
this.
Our NO has mentioned a clinical trial for LY2157299
plus lomustine or lomustine plus placebo
therapy. We are not sure where to go with
this. Ive also been reading a lot about Avastin
but that there is big cost involved.
Any suggestions, experiences, advice would
be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling very
confused and overwhelmed by all of this.
