Clincial Trail

Matt is doing really well.  He arrived at UW-Hospital at 8 in the morning.  They checked him in right away.  He had a team of doctors that asked a lot of questions.  At 10:30 he got his first dose of the MK-2206 medication.  He will take this medication at home on the 5th, 7th and 9th of August.  Then on August 11 he will go back to UW-Hospital and stay over night again.  This time they add on the second trail drug...Lapatinib.  On the 11th, 13th, and15th he will take both drugs.  On the 12th,14th and 16th of August he will only take the Lapatinib.  Then he is back at UW-Hospital on August 17.  At these hospital stays the make sure Matt is tolerating the drugs.  They also take blood draws 8 times while he is there on the first day. He stays over night and has more blood draws  before they will release him at about Noon.  He is back in the hospital on August 17th.  He will only take the Lapatinib on the 18th, 20th.  On 17th, 19th, 21st he will take both drugs.  He will continue this pattern as long as things are working for Matt.

So far Matt feels good since he took the drug.  He is not feeling nausea or tingling or itching. He has been eating well, walking around and catching up on his sleep.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
