Trial

Posted on July 22nd, 2005 by Beth

I don’t think I’m going to enroll in that trial. I wrote to Dr. Durie, and he suggested three treatment options for me.

Low dose Cytoxan with dex
Revlimid
Doxil and dex

You might know that Revlimid hasn’t been approved by the FDA for anyone to use yet, but I’ve been told there’s an extended access program that [...]

Fundraising

Posted on July 16th, 2005 by Beth

In an effort to raise funds for the IMF, one of the things I’m doing is selling products from a company called Country Bunny. I’ve used them myself, and like them enough that when I need lotion I only buy theirs. Any money I receive on any of the sales from the web site is [...]

Today’s appointment

Posted on July 5th, 2005 by Beth

I had my monthly appointment at the Clinical Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina today. I talked with Dr. O., and then Rey, the research nurse, about a few trials in which I can participate. As you know, I’m terrified of SCT, so I’m saving that for another time. There [...]

Blog Upgrade

Posted on July 5th, 2005 by Beth

I upgraded the blog software I use, Wordpress. Now I’m looking for a good theme to use, since I’m not good at design myself. Unfortunately, I need to leave for my monthly appointment at UNC now, so I have to go. I’ll work on the theme thing when I get back, which [...]
