The clinic visit today went well. Our plan is to try another clinical trial for a new drug which will start sometime in May. The new drug is conceptually similar to STA-9090 but a little different. In the meantime I will finish up one more week of STA-9090. Dr. Rizzieri thinks that although my counts are rising, the drug still may be keeping the Leukemia from going out of control. After this week, we will keep my counts down with the drug Hydrea until the new trial starts. This will be my third clinical trial so as they say maybe "third time's a charm."

  1. Sometimes the third time is the charm, and with a fighter like you, it just may come true. But, we are still praying for a miracle, whether from the clinical trial or however. You keep our spirits up by being so upbeat yourself. Thanks for the example you are to all of us.
    Love you bunches,
    Grandma

  4. And Dr. Rizzeri is the man in the know, so we have confidence in his next plan. But I have even more confidence in our Father, God, to whom we daily lift you up in heartfelt prayer. Sending much love to you, Michael, and Mom.
