Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thank you sweet Lottie. I sure wish I could meet you. Aloha Sharon _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lottie Duthu Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 3:42 PM CML Subject: [ ] Aloha Sharon Dear Sharon, I want to remind you that there are other drugs in the pipes. I am in a trial and Bobby and a few others in the group followed in their new trial. If all continues to go well for Bobby, everyone will be clamoring to get the new Ariad drug, since she is experiencing few side effects at this juncture in her trial. Science calls them TKIs, but I call them TKOs (technical knock outs). There were other drugs that kept us going until Gleevec came along and they are still available. We are all in a better place, even with the side effects and the constant labs and BMA's, although like Bobby, I think I have had enough of them. We both have about 46 under our belts. As Bobby said, with some trials, they didn't wait 3 months, they came every month. Sometimes I think the doctors and drug companies just wanted to see if they were working. LOL Aloha Dear Sharon, science is keeping you and I in their sights, Hands & hearts, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
