So by way of update, they decided last week that I can now see the doctor every two weeks instead of every week which is an excellent turn of events! This means that my labs and rashes and overall general generalness are doing well enough that they don't feel the need to watch me as closely as they have been.

It was, of course, a change for me. I am a creature of habit and I become disconcerted when things change, but nonetheless it was good news. I see the doctor this week, but I don't have another scan for 4 weeks.

Overall everything is fine, I am happy and healthy (well, minus the cancer) and we continue to be excited by the potential of this clinical trial.

Wishing everyone the best, more updates to follow!
