GIST Is a
rare condition: no-one should have to cope
with it on their own.
This site is for GIST
patients and their supporters to share experiences and information.
Most of the content is provided by patients, not by the
medically-qualified.
Please read it and email us with your
comments,
corrections and
additions.
We would like to hear your life
story as a GIST patient - why
not send it to us?
The big breakthrough in the
management of GIST
has been
the development by Novartis of
the drug Glivec (pronounced
"Gleevec" and spelled that way in
the US), and more recently the
development by Pfizer of the drug
Sutent. Both promise to
transform the lives of many GIST patients.
