Clinical Trail

Matt has decided to try the Mk2206 clinical trail.  It is to start at the end of May.  The first 5 weeks he will take a chemo pill every day and a pill 3 times a week.  They want
Matt to go to Madison Hospital 3 times during the 5 weeks to test how the drugs are
doing.  Possible side effects would be tiredness and break out with pimple in his eyebrow area.  He can continue to have his labs done in Johnson Creek cancer center and his CT-scans down at Watertown Hospital.  After 5 weeks he will have to only go to Madison once a month as long as the drugs are working.   The drugs are supposed to shrink the tumors.  At any time if Matt wants to op out he can.  If the Doctors don't think the drugs are working they would ask Matt to step out of the clinical trial.
Matt thought it is worth a try. Hopefully this will help shrink everything.

  Matt is still getting ready to go to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion. Dr Holen from Johnson Creek would like another Doctor to look at Matt and go through
all his paperwork and see if there is anything that the Doctor at Mayo clinic might think of that he has not thought of.  Matt leave on Sunday, May 1 to go to Rochester, MN to Mayo clinic.  His appointment is at 8:00 in the morning.  Matt was informed that testing could take up to three days.  Mayo has requested all the paperwork from the day Matt
was diagnosed from Watertown hospital, Washington Hospital, Johnson Creek Cancer Center and glass slides.  We are working and getting everything sent to Mayo Clinic.

Matt has been working when it hasn't been raining. 

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and positive thoughts!!
