treatment

Sydney is back from camp, our new puppy Poppy is so much fun and the CT scan showed relative stability or slight improvement — all signs look good.

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!

So, no video this week because once again, I got sick. I had a wicked flu on Monday night that had me violently ill throughout the night. It took me a couple of days to recover from that. Not the best way to start the week, especially after suffering a series of migraines last week, including one on my birthday last Tuesday, the 10th.

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

At some point in life, most of us find ourselves in a dark, seemingly inescapable place.
