Bone mets have progressed so this chemo regimen was ineffective.
I hope none of you face a recurrence but, I wanted to pass on the site that registers all clinical trials. It is www.clinical trials.gov and is very easy to navigate. Andy is eligible for a phase 3 trial so that will be our next step. He may have some radiation to the bone first and then we will wait 28 days before starting the trial. That is one of their criteria.

Meanwhile, we are going to embrace the blessings we have in life...especially on a 28 day break from chemo!
