Clinical Trial Chronicles

Adrienne is getting her second test dose of the MGCD-0103 drug today. It'll be a long day since we had to wait for labs before starting, and then there are 8 hours of blood draws (called PKs). Thankfully, this the last LONG day. She felt a bit "off" the two evenings following last week's test dose but has been feeling fine since.

Adrienne is ready to toss the crutches in the garbage. Overall, her foot is feeling better but she's been told not to put any weight on it and swelling is still an issue. We got a wheelchair over the weekend so we could get out. We even made it to the mall on Sunday and saw George Carlin on Saturday night. I hate shopping but George Carlin was a lot of fun. The weather has been perfect, not too hot, so we've been spending a lot of time sitting around in the backyard. The dogs love to be outside with us.

My mother-in-law, Joyce, is hanging in there. Her pain is quite bad and she sleeps most of the time, but was able to talk to Curt on the phone on Sunday.

Hi Adrienne,
I'm glad this is the last long day. Just huge hugs from me to you and hope that this will trial work for you with no more making you feel "off" or anything else. Talk to you soon.
Love, Karen

Still checking in on you, and I hope the foot is better. I hope the "off" feeling passes and this trial does what it is supposed to do.
