The doctor said . . .

The doctor is continuing to investigate clinical drug trials, which by the way have about a 10% chance of being effective. In the meantime, he's placed me on an oral chemo -- 10 pills spread over 4 times per day. It's a targeted drug, genetically targeted to the ovarian cancer cells. I'll have to search the internet for more information on what "targeted" means. I asked the efficacy rate for this drug, and he said it's about 15%. (That's better than 10!) I already turned the prescription in at the pharmacy; I think it was Hexalen or something like that.

Sue's visit was such a gift. She's on her way home now.
