A visit to UNC

Sexy Gown right?
Well, I visited Dr. Dees again at UNC. She gave me happy news, of a sort. There are new drugs for my condition, so instead of only having two more treatments available, there are now 4. And we discussed clinical trials. In a couple of weeks I get new scans done and we will make some decisions from that. If I am stable or improving, we continue the Tykerb/Xeloda combo. If my  heart function has dropped, we will start an ACE inhibitor. If the condition has worsened, my two doctors will have 4 treatments to pick from. So now I just wait for the scans and hope that we see some stability, because side effect wise, this particular combo is fairly easy to live with. I burp a lot, but that's okay.
