To manage that she was put on a fentanyl transdermal patch. and taking Nucynta for breakthrough pain. Its like living with Hunter S Thompson here! We managed to get her into the trial for avastin with letrazole, (with me biking from soho to chelsea, back again and then all over again to deliver a urine specimen on the last day she could qualify for the trial). Then the computer randomly assigned her to the group that does not get the avastin, the control group. oh well. The oncologist also started her on a once a month Xgeva, a drug for osteoporosis and bone damaged by cancer. next week we go back for a battery of tests. Now heres the odd thing. Our neighbor two doors down, same building same floor
also just diagnosed with breast cancer, though only barely stage two. And another neighbor right downstairs breast cancer last year. All of us in the building for 30 years! Maybe all that toxic dust from ground zero ten years ago? Also in the last ten years 5 dogs with cancer.
Coincidence?
