Got a lot on my mind tonight. Good Friends need to know


Oct 1, 2018, 12:11 AM

Sandy and I are going to Levine Cancer Center, Main Campus in Charlotte on Monday afternoon to see if I am eligible to participate in a clinical trial regarding my Stage 4 lung cancer.

My new oncologist here in Gastonia brought my case up last week and the tumor committee thinks I may be a viable candidate for a clinical trial involving a study drug being used on humans for the first time. Frankly, I am excited to be considered, and KeyTruda has given me 9-10 more months than everyone thought I may have. The testing they have done on this drug, code name MK-7684 has shown much better results than initially expected.

One of the requirements is I had to be off all immuntheraphy and chemo for more than four weeks, and I have. The KeyTruda just couldn't keep up with the cancer and I've got 6-8 new small tumors in the left lung. I don't know a whole lot about this, but the info sheet says they can administer this ever three weeks for a total of 35 cycles(105 weeks).

I'll be hanging around TNet still, so if i put a burr in your britches, know it's in fun!

Love all of you!!! Go Tigers!!!!

Ron Wright, 71PR
