Another day at Huntsman. I left home at 8 AM and got to Huntsman by 9 AM. Today I am to have labs drawn, take a pill, then have a series of labs drawn over the course of eight hours. All in a days work. The pill is Warfarin (Coumadin). The first week I will come back to Huntsman each day for a blood draw. Documentation will be made to see how the blood reacts to the Warfarin.
In two weeks I will start on the drug Belinostat. I will have just as many blood draws to watch and see how the blood reacts or changes. As long as my body can handle this drug I can stay on the study for six weeks. I can use the drug longer if it is beneficial.
I am praying for some great results. As I looked over my last CT Scan I found that the tumors continue to grow. I need and want them to stop.
Good things about being at the hospital for nine hours:
I got to read more of the book "Animal Vegetable Miracle".
I caught up in my email and facebook. I looked at all of Britney's new post on her blog!
I played a couple of games of Sudoku.
I had a wonderful free lunch. A beautiful salad with salmon.
I am writing on my blog!!
Now the long day is over and I have the drives back and forth to Huntsman for a blood draws each day for the next week,
