“I promised my granddaughter we’ll
make cupcakes together.”
Peggy Reilly of Vallejo, California, has
endured numerous treatment regimens
for colorectal cancer. She was originally
diagnosed at stage III, then progressed to
stage IV, with 35 tumors in her lungs. Her
doctor suggested Vectibix™ (panitumumab),
recently approved for the treatment of
metastatic colorectal cancer in patients
whose tumors have continued to grow
despite standard chemotherapy. Peggy
says, “I was glad to have it, because I
had no options left.” She adds, “I treat
every day as what it is — a gift.”
