Nevermind the C-Trials

There are actually two trials going on, one at Kaiser and one at Cedars-Sinai. James got called back by from the clinical trials nurse at Kaiser , who said that the trial was for people with a different type of head and neck cancer, so I'm not eligible for that one. The contact at Cedars-Sinai told James that they may not be enrolling any more patients for that trial, but he's expecting a call back from them. Either way, I might not have been chosen for the test group, anyway. But I shouldn't despair because they could just let the chemo loose on me without risking leaving me w/out any treatment at all for a month. Dr. B. also called to say that we'll be discussing possible treatment courses at our next meeting. He's worried, though, that continuing or changing treatment might just end up making me sicker, without changing the cancer. For now we have to wait...

So I took a shower. Actually, James helped me take a shower... Heaven. I should worry less about clinical trials, and concentrate more on showers. I love my Cabana Boy.
