Clinical Trials

Took a chance looking through the ACS website over the weekend on clinical trials. Turns out, this trial in Los Angeles, CA is enrolling patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that have been previously treated. The objectives
of the trial are to compare ZD1839 (Iressa) at dosages of 250 mg and 500 mg versus methotrexate in terms of overall survival, symptom improvement, tumor response, safety and tolerability, and quality of life. James spoke to someone at Kaiser, where they're actually running the trials, and gave them my patient ID number to check out my eligibility. Great news. I suppose in at lease one of them them, I will be chosen for one of be non-placebo groups. Cross your fingers.

Still dreaming mad dreams about blueberries. Blueberry milkshakes now, w/two maraschino cherries on top. I only remember making them at home with either wild blueberry jam, or frozen whole blueberries. But, the BEST BERRY PANCAKES are at the Bellagio LV Cafe. They put blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and whipped butter on each layer with the best maple syrup. For this dish, all you need is a tall glass of ice cold whole milk. Well, it's all I would need.

Going back to Neverland, now...
