2pm today:
Met with Dr. Burtynski and others. Today was basically a consultation with Dr. Butrynski and a session to review what will be involved with the treatments in Boston. When treatments begin, they will have to be administered in Boston because of all the regulations regarding clinical trials. My first treatment should begin in approximately 2 weeks with treatments to follow every two weeks for two months after that. Then the visits to Boston should be once a month after that.
The technical stuff:
The drug is PF-02341066 and has seen some success in patients with certain sarcomas of the lungs.
Next Step:
I will be returning to Waterloo late tomorrow (24th) and returning to work until I hear from Dana-Farber. The exact date of the first treatment will be ironed out within the next week with the first treatment to begin in about 2 weeks. So... hurry up and wait.
