Sirithiliel Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Things haven't been going well. He went in yestreday to start the clinical treatment, but his liver enzymes were far too high. It is suspected it is the pain killers he is on. He went back today for a liver ultrasound and to talk with the doctor. He's not rejected from the trial just yet, as long as his liver readings stay where they are he should be okay to continue, they just wanted to do further tests before trying. He doesn't know when he'll go back and try again, they'll get results of the ultrasound next week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that they can get the levels back down, just be patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 What have they said about chances the drug may work, and how long on average are they hoping for? regardless I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and pray for the best possible outcomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 2 tumors, one at the base of his tongue and one in the marrow of his jawbone. The one at the base of his tongue is the subject of this trial, there is nothing they can do for the one in his jaw. Removing the tongue one will relieve him of pain, so that is the goal, to increase his quality of life they estimate that if it works a year, to maybe a year and a half 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
