Update

Hello ,I know it has been a while but it took this long to get some answers. Three visits to
Tucson and the U.of.A Cancer Center has accepted me for a trial of a new chemo drug called
STD4783 mixed with Taxol. This trial is in it's 3rd phase and the statistics look very good.
Dr. Hersh and his team are very optimistic of this new drug.

For those of you who are not familiar with a clinical trial. Drug companies have to go through
3 or 4 phases of testing on a number of people before they can receive FDA approval.
For example, phase 1, 6 people, phase 2, 100 people, phase 4, 1000 people ,phase 5 so on.
Half the people get a placebo and half get the drug. The results get tallied and the drug
is FDA approved or not.

This new drug in conjunction with taxol has shown to be very effective on melenoma.
I am very lucky to be accepted, now I am praying I get the goods and my body will be
cleansed of this cancer. I am supposed to start treatment in Tucson next week.
I'll let you know as I know.
