Happy Birthday to me! Made yet another year. I for one look forward to birthdays and that number increasing only because it means I'm still with all of you. It's hard to get bummed about getting older when your wish is to get older. Hard to explain what goes through your mind. I've had so many good wishes today and I am truly blessed to have so many friends. Thank you all.
One more week until I start the new chemo. The hospital has pulled my tumor block and its on the way to Germany so they can confirm I qualify for the study. This week I have a Bone Scan, CT Scan (abdomen) and more Lab work to do in preparation. The best I could hope for is that this trial will buy more time. If anything hopefully it will help others down the road. I have to be thankful to all the women who in the past were on trials for the current chemo's I have taken over that last 21 months. Without patients agreeing to be in these studies we wouldn't have the variety of hopes we currently have in the form of chemo. There is still a chance that I will be accepted on the study but not get the trial drug. I have a 2 out of 3 chance of being picked (by a computer and most of you know my relationships with computers are not the best) to have the trial drug. If I'm not selected I will be given an FDA approved drug that my physician feels is the best for me at this stage. The study will compare those taking the trial drug versus those on a regular course of treatment. Either way it should prove to be interesting. I'll take you step by step along the way as I start this new journey. We could only hope it helps. We have to start somewhere.
Well I have on my birthday shoes and will continue to DANCE the night away.
Until next time - be happy, healthy and keep on dancin'!
