Clinical Trial

As many of you know, today was the day to decide about the Clinical Trial, using the new drug, Everoline. The Dr finally got the protacol for the study two weeks ago. Surprisingly, this study requires that the patient cannot be taking any other drugs during the trial. The doctor was upset about that, as were we. However, our "ace in the hole" has always been the Sandostaten shot. That's what has kept the tumors in check so far. We will continue our present regimen. We just got back from Colorado and Judy did remarkably well. Our next appointment will be in four weeks, and we will have a CT Scan, repeating every four weeks thereafter. We have only had a 20% tumor growth since diagnosis. We praise God for His strength to walk this path. He's holding our hand all the way. God bless all of you who have been faithful in prayer for us.
