One HCC Drug Study... May not relate to your Uncle's actual diagnosis/treatment

...and yes, these results would not be as optimistic...as 9 months would be the 50% PFS... and it walks all the way down to 10% at 2 years future.

...and the comparison is to a placebo (aka - non-treatment), not a "standard" drug therapy treatment... meaning this particular case shown (may not be your uncle's) is a first generation treatment.

I am not too worried about my uncle. He is 75 plus. That's a good age to have lived. I only hope whatever life is remaining to him let it be peaceful and without too much pain.

Hear, hear! Still, cancer is never a great way to make the final exit. Sorry about his medical diagnosis not being more promising.

Thanks fj! Yes, cancer is no way to go. But we all can't choose our exits, unfortunately.

Merry Christmas,fj! Hope the coming year be more auspicious for you and all your recent troubles disappear for good!
