edited March 2014 in Colorectal Cancer #1
As most of you know, I started my 2nd clinical trial a couple of months ago at Lombardi (Georgetown). I got scans on Friday and the results today. Most tumors have remained stable and even had a slight decrease in a few. My doctor is very pleased with the results and of course we are continuing on with it. This is a phase I study and I really hope it proves to continue to be beneficial not only for me, but the other patients as well. Maybe one day soon this will lead to more patients who have been unsuccessful with the standard drugs, such as myself, given the opportunity for a lifetime. And I promise that I will continue to fight for that for all of us. I don't know if I shared this but I'm getting married on Saturday and this was the best news we've heard in a long time. I'm so grateful to God for blessing me. I asked Him from the start to lead my doctors to the best treatment plan for me and He has truly blessed me with great docs all around and with the medicines to keep me alive and otherwise healthy. If anyone is interested in knowing more about this trial just pm me and I will send you the info.

    Congrats!
    Congrats on both! October is a nice time to get married. There is nothing in the way to compete for good anniversary gifts (no Xmas tax time or Easter) lol. Wishing you continued good results with your clinical trials and well wishes as you start your new life with your sweetie. Enjoy your day!
