Karmanos Clinical Trial - Update

Well, I went to Karmanos last week for the Genetic Consultation, which was less then appealing. After sitting through printed slides and having the Counselor go through page after page of information and asking me questions about my Family history and getting a little upset that I listed 2 Uncles as having Cancer and not being specific about the type. The counselors stepped out of the Exam Room and after waiting for approximately 45 minutes the Doctor stepped in had me take my shirt off and examined my upper torso, since there are certain skin anomalies that can be indicators of cancer, which he didn't find. The Doctor was a little concerned with the number of brown spots on my back and asked if I had a Dermatologist, I advised that I didn't and that my Family Doctor was monitoring them. In all the drive was nice, but the waiting was the most nerve racking of all.
After going to the Main Campus of Karmanos in Downtown Detroit, Mi., on June 5th and getting the Workup completed I got a call from the Physician's Assistance om Friday June 5th saying that the first Clinical Trial that I was being considered for was not good for me, since it would make my Neuropathy in my Hands and Feet worse and there was another Clinical Trial opening up on June 18th also that I might me eligible for, but they was awaiting the results of the CAT Scan, to see if there was any tumors that could be biopsied; otherwise there was another Trial starting on June 25th. Well, I got a call from Dr. Heath yesterday saying that she didn't want to put in me in harms way and risk my health by putting me into Trials that could do more harm then help. So, now I am waiting until July 15th, to see if the Trial that starts then is better for me or not.
My decision to wait for the Trial on July 15th, has upset Carmen since she was really hoping to go on vacation next month and see her Brother before he goes to Arizona for Motorcycle Mechanics School in the Fall. I feel that being selfish about my health was a little more important then considering waiting longer to start any Clinical Trials, since I want to get them started as soon as possible to get the Cancer under control. I'll discuss this a little more with Carmen when I get home this afternoon and see if she would be willing to make a compromise on this.
Well for now I'm still here and not doing any Chemotherapy or Clinical Trial, yet, but at least I can relax a little and concentrate on getting things in order and some the bills under control.
