Well, still not much to report on the clinical trial drug. We have to wait for the scans, but mom is doing well enough and isn't suffering from any new symptoms. Her current symptoms have increased in intensity though. She is now losing her hair which I think is really emotionally difficult. We can't be too sure if its the medicine or residual from the chemo medicine before and a combination of stress. We have been pretty stressed out because we are in a state of uncertainty and not knowing if it is working. Of course we are all praying and hopeful that it is. The nose bleeds have increased a bit, but not to a point of dire concern or hospitalization. The fatigue and exhaustion has increased, but she is getting up every morning and getting out of the house. So she is getting exercise which is great. Her appointment this last tuesday went well enough and the doctor told her that he is hopeful that this medicine is working because her lab work has been good and because she looks great!!! She has been there today as well for more blood work and ekg's. We will go back next tuesday and schedule the scans then.
Thank you for your prayers and God bless you all.
