Happy New Year!  I took someone’s recommendation and motionless to rest, rest, rest over a holidays. Â
That lasted for a day.  I’d like to accommodate a mom who can indeed rest over a holidays.  So we did a second best thing: we complacent after a holidays.  I attempted to be studious while we waited to hear if we had been supposed into a new proviso one clinical trial. Â
The 7 chemotherapy drugs we have taken over a final year and a half were a bust.  My alloy hates to hear me contend that, given he feels that even if they stopped operative after 3 months, there was still some spin of success involved.  That’s a tough judgment to grasp when there are a singular series of chemotherapy drugs available.  When there aren’t any more, there aren’t any more.  I theory we could contend it’s a same as looking during a potion being half dull or half full.  After being in diagnosis for so prolonged and meaningful that a tumors are in a critical organ, my liver, it’s not easy to stay positive. we do a best we can.
But this brings me to share with we some good news. Â I have been supposed into a proviso one clinical hearing for estrogen-positive breast cancer. Â This drug is being touted as a biggest breakthrough in breast cancer given Dr. Dennis Slamon identified a HER2/neu oncogene and a ensuing diagnosis drug Herceptin.
At this stage, a drug concerned in a hearing is referred to usually as “LY2835219.† I had my initial day in a clinical hearing yesterday.  I spent eleven hours during a sanatorium with blood draws each dual hours, perceived 4 electrocardiograms, a skin biopsy, a liver biopsy a day before, etc.
I am unequivocally vehement and hopeful. we am one of 100 women participating in this investigate nationwide. Â They trust that this will be a initial verbal chemotherapy that will not have any side effects. Â
Since a inception, this is what The Noreen Fraser Foundation has been operative on – devoting investigate supports to find a treatment, that will concede us to have a lives back.   A chemo that will have few or no side effects, enabling us to live normal lives with cancer and not die from it.  Basically, a drug that will spin cancer into a ongoing illness that can be managed.
If this works with breast cancer, it will open a margin for a diagnosis of all cancers.  That is my New Year’s wish for 2013!
