e1905 Clinical Trial w/o MS-275 (Update on Ron's Condition)
Hello Everyone! As promised, I'm providing an update to Ron's ongoing progress while on e1905 Clinical Trial. (Because the first one was Too Long, I've broken it down into two separate Posts...)...
Remember, he is Not in the group that is receiving MS-275 pill.
I last posted 12/03/09 when Ron was having a tough time with a new condition, Prostatitis. We were not happy with his Urologist, and after 30 days of fiddling around with this doctor, we selected a new Urologist and could not be Happier!
Ron's new doctor was able to get Ron's condition under control within a week. Right now, Ron's about 80% better than he was. He continues to have ocassionaly burning after urination, but it's minimal.. as we continue on the treatment with this new Urologist. He and Ron's Hematologist/Oncologist are talking together, discussing the long term plan... The Urologist prescribed the following for Ron's Prostatitis: Levaquin 750mg daily, Q-UROL (Herbal Supplement w/Sawpalmetto), which is sort of like advadart, but, with less side effects. He takes this twice daily, and Celebrex for prostrate inflammation. The Ocologist concurs with this protocol, but, continues to monitor Urologists treatments/status.
Now, an update on Ron's Blood Progress: (I've put the clinical trial cycle number, following by the day of cycle). Ron is on 10-Days of Vidaza injection (low dose), followed by 18 Days off... totally, a 28-Day Cycle.
