Clinical Trial #2 Information Received

Well, last Thursday I received call from Mioko, Clinical Trials Eligibility Coordinator for Karmanos Cancer Center, who was calling to give me a information on the next Study and also to let me know that I would have all testing done in 1 day. So, this means that I will have a Cat Scan at 7:30a, then I see the Physician's Assistant at 9am, then at 11am I have Ultrasound of my Heart scheduled. A short break after, with no food after 10:30a, and a PET Scan at 2:30p. So, it will be another busy day for me and Carmen, with a lot of waiting for procedures to be completed or just waiting between. Hopefully, I will be able to get the procedures completed without any problems and get my schedule set for treatment.
The one thing that makes this Trial a little different from the last one, is the biopsy of either the skin or tumor or both. I am hoping for one biopsy to be completed and not the two. I will have to wait and see how that goes and take it form there. Anxiousness is one thing that I am trying not to let get the best of me, this early, but I know on Wednesday it will be kicking into high gear. For now I will concentrate on working and doing things around the house, until I find out what exactly will be taking place with this Trial, since the material, I have read over states that the Trial is 5 months long. Nothing is mentioned about any other CAT/PET Scans in between, so this will be the one question that I will get an answer to. On the last Clinical Trial I had the CAT Scan during Cycle 2 and was scheduled for Cycle 3, when I got the news of the lesions growing 1 cm, but they are located in a Non-life Threatening are of the lung. This news was something that was a relief to Carmen and I, since we was not informed of this, nor did we think of questioning the location.
Well, with this information being at hand and the wait for Thursday, 8/27, the week will be interesting to say the least. May be I will go through the earlier posts and see if there is anything there that does not sound correct, but then again may be I will leave them alone.
