Well, Sean had his appointment in Chicago on Wednesday anticipating the MDX-010 trial, but there has been a change of plans. I am very fond of his oncologist in Chicago, as she is very aggressive! She has explained to us that the trial may take up to 3-4 months before it can show results. Sean's tumors are very aggressive, and as they are still treatable, in 3-4 months it may become very widespread, so she believes MDX-010 is not the way to go YET. She thinks Sean would benefit by doing biochemo first in attempt to stabilize his tumors, then going on to the trial. Sean will have to receive his biochemo treatments in Chicago, as his oncologist here is against it. We will be leaving Sunday night and he will start treatment Monday morning. We will be at the hospital for 5 days I believe while he is getting his treatment. It's going to be a long week next week, so please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you. ~Nicole~
