Let's Try This Again

Well, the clinical trial did not work too well.  I'm now going to start another infusion regiment, this time with Panitumumab.  Kind of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?  I'll get an infusion every two weeks starting in May.  The good news is that it's all here in Austin!  I'm very happy about that!

Clinical Trial

My new home away from home, the Cancer Therapy Research Center, part of the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. I'm currently in a clinical trial to test the bio-equivalence of two different doses of the trial drug TKI258, known on the streets as Dovinitib. I was happy to get into the trial and I'm getting to know San Antonio better, but I don't have to go there too often. My only complaint is that I feel like a pin cushion. They take a lot of blood samples!
