Today I took steps to join a clinical trial with MN Oncology. New trial...new lung biopsy, CT, MRI...I just gotta keep marching on. This study is testing a drug that targets the T790M mutation that is pushing my cancer forward. This is probably not a time for too much hope, not until I can get through the tests and know for sure that I will be accepted into the trial. It is highly likely that this new drug CO-1686 (catchy name) will prolong my life for a few, maybe several, months. Joining a trial means that I need to change my doctor (Leach) and hospital (Abbott)...sigh. Up side is that Dr. Leach is very kind and also very good at talking research details with me. I like him a lot.
How have I been...crying, sensitive, thin skinned. Pain is increasing and it gets hard to "keep marching on". Also heartbreaking is the unexpected loss of my dearest brother-in-law
