Has anyone any information on obtaining and using Vaxira, the Cuban drug, for
stage 4 advanced NSCLC? Not sure if US citizens can still travel to Cuba, but the drug is supposed to be available in Argentina also, which would seem to be an easier avenue. Thank you very much.

Hi,
There's not enough data on vaxira that proves its efficacy. I believe there are ongoing studies to find whether or not it's appropriate for use. Perhaps there's a trial in your area that can be joined.

All best,
Janine

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.
