Guest DaveG Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Here's the latest on me. The CT Scan from yesterday, showed nothing new and is basically the same as the last one. The other thing that has been done is that I am back on the clinical trial at 1/2 normal dose. Part of the trial, as it turns out, is to determine the optimum dose. So here I am. Chemo went well today, at least i have not gone down with fatigue or lack of energy. So this is the latest on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveG Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Sam and Bob: We're walking side by side in this journey, not one behind the other. Besides, when we walkside by side, its easier to hold hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
