Today I finished my 6th week of doing my vaccine. Yippee! I also decided to go ahead with the clinical trial. I am not really sure yet that I am doing the "right" thing. I know I should go into every new treatment believing that it will help. I have just been disappointed over and over again. I really want to put faith in this new pill. Instead of packing my pretty bikini's and heading to a lovely island, I will be home in my Uggs trotting into the city to be a guinea pig. I know what I am really upset & scared about. If this trial does work, I will be on a pill that could shrink my tumors. But, how long will I be on them? And, what happens when my body decides to reject it? Then what, another drug. This is how I have to live my life? Maybe it's just time that I realize that I am not a normal 30 year old. Instead of getting married and having children. I got married and spend my friday evenings getting Ct scans of my chest in the hospital. Every girls dream.
I feel the tumors getting larger and they are starting to bother me. I really pray that this works. I really need this pill to work. So, Paul and I will not being going to the Bahamas. Not right now. I am going to start the clinical trial and see how I feel and see if it works. Since I have to be at the hospital every week for testing, I can't leave Ny. As soon as I can I will pack my bags and head to the sunny island for some immune therapy. I will keep you posted.
Love, Guinea Piggie
