Linda received a call from Dr. Sandler's nurse coordinator...to say Linda has been accepted into the "wild-wild" clinical trial.....and that the ostomy take down surgery scheduled for Friday has been postponed...
What does "wild-wild" mean and what are the percentages..and..and...we are not sure and will surely find out more in the next few days...it has to do with the mutation that Linda carries or doesn't carry...which qualifies her...that is a result of the testing that has taken so long.
Linda then got a call from the Clinical Trials coordinator saying that an echo cardiogram was needed before getting into the procedure...and that they would have to find a cancellation as they wanted to get going as soon as possible...Linda said we were ready to go at any time...the sooner the better.
As we understand it, the procedure will be in four week cycles with an infusion at the beginning of each week for three weeks and then the fourth week off.....with the fourth week, the patient feels pretty good...so travel and all are to be in the fourth week....beyond that we are in the dark...knowing we will know more soon.
