cancer

Onwards and upwards...one clinical trial didn't work, and so we move on to the next.

Tonight, our community manager for It's Time To Shout, Rachel Fine, hosted a fundraiser where she cut off all her hair for locks of love. She used this opportunity to raise awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research.

So, as I mentioned quickly last week, I did start the new clinical trial. It consists of two drugs. There is a low dose, daily, oral chemo called cyclophosphamide that everyone takes. Then, there is a second drug that is randomized. Only half the people on the trial get the drug. It is Abbott's version of the PARP inhibitor. It is completely randomized. Yay me! I got the PARP inhibitor!

Well, we figured out the cause of the cough — now we just have to figure out what to do about it. There always seems to be another curve that is thrown my way in battling ovarian cancer, just when I think things are finally going to calm down for a bit. Here we go again...

Here is the latest update on what is going with me. It seems to be trending towards the good, thankfully. I'm still tired, but the breathing is getting easier.
