I have a strong interest in pancreatic cancer along with my colleagues at the Univ of Colorado Denver. I would be honored if I could help you and may be able to assist you in getting access to some new drugs that appear promising in inhibiting metastatic disease from progressing using Src kinase inhibition. I am sure you are already plugged into Phase I therapy options in your area but we also have a very strong Phase I therapeutics program under Gail Eckhardt (you can certainly google us to get further info). I am doing research with Astrazeneca and again we are working on a drug taken orally that inhibits src kinase and in pancreatic models it appeared quite interesting - it is in human Phase I and II trials currently. If I could help you get access to this drug or get into our Phase I clinic at Colorado I would be happy to help. Wells Messersmi th has recentl y joined us from Johns Hopkins and he has a specific interest in pancreatic research and has done work with this compound as well. Your story reminded me of a movie many years ago with Michael Keaton when he films video's to leave to his kids which was very moving as was your story.
