Possible Clinical trial (broken foot now)
« on: December 10, 2015, 08:25:00 AM »
Yesterday I started the process to get into a new clinical trial for two drugs that are having great results with other types of cancer. This study will try them om sarcomas which I have. These are not chemo drugs but drugs to remove the defenses cancer has and also boosts the immune system so the body destroys the cancer cells. There are some side effects but not as bad as chemo. One possible positive side effect they are seeing is the body can develop antibodies for multiple cancers.
Anyway just praying for God's best in this and thanks for all the prayer they are having a great effect. My oncologist said my wife and I were the two happiest people in the center. God is Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!      :notworthy:

I found out I am in the Nivolumab arm of the clinical trial. Mixed feelings because the two drug combo has worked the best on other cancers but the side effect is severe diarrhea and other possible side effects. The good news is that normally there are minimal side effects with Nivolumab. It was humanly randomized by computer but God controls the outcome so He knows whats best for me. I start on Monday.

Well, all good things have costs, Galen...

Prayers this is a good thing and regardless, you'll be advancing research for others.

Godspeed!

Keep the Son in your eyes and USANA on board if possible...  :)

They might not allow it as they'll recon it'll interfere with the results, since not all have those 'on-board'.  Shame.

Warmest wishes and fervent prayers my ole friend!   :pray:

The first treatment is done so far it's going ok. Don't know the dose amount but get it every 2 weeks for 17 weeks then they reassess how things are going. By the way the ct scan showed the 2 tumors they hit with radiation have gotten smaller. Praise God

The trial hasn't been too bad but today I'm anemic and low on red cells so getting 2 pints of red. They're going to check for a leak to figure out where its going. Feeling pretty good except for the fatigue.
