      Hey…

      Had a scan on Friday…still showing progression. This morning they ended my participation in the clinical trial. I was offered two new trials (one with Yervoy) or just do the standard Yervoy treatment. Can't start either trial for at least four weeks. No waiting period to start Yervoy. So I decided to go on vacation and deal with it when I get back.

              I had a trip to Argentina planned when I got my diagnosis and they said I could do the clinical trial.  I was going to cancel it, so I could get the treatments started as early as possible, which would have gained me about six days.  Doctor said: Go. Six days isn't going to make a difference.  I went, but thinking that it was a bad idea.  I was thinking that I need to get this ''fixed' as soon as possible.  Doesn't quite work that way.  Am now glad I went. Enjoy the vacation.
