Experimental Drug Panitumumab Back at 50%

The end is near, hopefully. This treatment was very routine, experimental drug (Panitumumab) back at 50%. The new clinic was open and this was their second day, so they were a little disorganized, no cable tv yet, hanging magazine racks, coat hangers, clocks during treatment. This building is more than double the size of the hospital annex they were using and features PRIVATE ROOMS. I left with another doctors appointment for next Wed. I didn't know why. There was still debate on when to do the CT Scan. The clinic called Thursday with a surprise. They had set a CT Scan for Tuesday at 6:45 am. I thought it would be after the 12th treatment. Makes some sense seeing the Dr. on Wed. I hate that early hour. I am anxious to see what our progress is, so I won't have long to wait. The next post should be interesting. A final note not having to do with my treatment. My mother passed away Tues. night/Wed.morning. She was 2 months from her 99th birthday. Her quality of life had slipped quite a bit the past few months so it was somewhat of a blessing. I will always remember her as a great mother.
