Clinical Trial Possibility

The last blood test in late December showed no improvement in the PSA numbers. So now the options are getting fewer. However the oncologist learned that there was a clinical trial for a new drug being tested and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance was looking for participants. He was excited about this new drug and felt that I would be a good person for this trial as it targets prostate cancer, and, as I am in fairly good health. So on Monday the 11th I go in for an interview and apply.



Pray that God would be leading in this decision. We do not know if this is a good thing to be in this trial or not. And there is a certain amount of not wanting to be a guinea pig for an unknown drug. Also Annie is worried because present meds will probably stop if I become a participant and she doesn't know if that is a danger or not. Others have said that drugs that they test in this manner are very promising, and since there are many safeguards, that I should take it, if I can get in. We would like to submit everything to the Great Physician for guidance.

Please continue to pray for me to get 30 minutes of physical activity in daily. We have got it up to about 20 minutes 4-5 times a week and need to keep pressing in on this objective.

Thank you so much for being willing to pray for me on this matter.
