March is living up to it's "in like a lion" appellation as it is windy as all get out right now.
Cheryl's just about set up to enter a clinical trial at the Oregon Clinic; she's got a few more blood samples to give and get an EEG and MRI to make sure her brain is cancer-free (if not, she's not eligible for this trial, but since we haven't seen any ick up there, we should be safe on that front).
The unfortunate part is that this is a double-blind, not open trial, meaning half the patients get just chemo, half get the chemo and the experimental wonder drug. The chemo drug - paclitaxel - has actually been shown to be fairly effective on its own, but is not a cure. Bother.
Personally, I think since we've had the double whammy of a) IL-2 quitting working and b) no positive antigen for the other trial, we're definitely due for a dose of good fortune.
We'll know more in a week or so, and will keep you all updated as we get more info.
