Today at 3 pm

There has really been no good news to share and that is why no posts have come until now. No time to write in detail, but I have stopped taking Crizotinib and since Monday I have needed to have 3 transfusions, for low hemoglobin and platelets. My energy level is extremely low, stairs are again a challenge, I have shortness of breath.. and of course the fevers continue.

We venture off this morning to Rochester, NY, where there is a trial center that may be willing to grant me the SGN-35 drug on compassionate grounds. Key word is 'may'.

Please cross your fingers, pray, send positive vibes our way, today Thursday at 3 pm. At this time I will be meeting with a trial doctor there who will assess me and hopefully have mercy..

With an open mind and more optimism than we've all had in weeks, I sign off,

Paulina
