Change of plans - for now...

So I got a call back from the lady that's over the clinical trials in Denver. The Plexxikon trial I was supposed to start has been pushed back another 4-5 weeks! WHAT!!!! I was expecting to start in the next week or so. Well that didn't sit well with me so I called my doctors in Houston. They have decided that I will now start another trial. I told her that I just didn't feel good about just waiting. It's been two months since my IL2 treatments and I can't just sit here and let the tumors get bigger. So I go back to Houston on Thursday (Oct 15th) to talk with my doctor and go over the details of the trial. As far as I understand it's a lot like the Plexxikon trial. It's a pill I will take. I will know more details next week after I talk with him. I'm still on the list in Denver to do the Plexxikon trial though. Bad thing is I have to have a wash out period between treatments. But I'd rather being doing something instead of just sitting here letting the tumors on my lungs grow. As soon as I know more I will let everyone know.
