 The trial will help Dean also, it gives him hope and he needs that so much right now! We will keep you up to date on how he does. Dean has some pretesting that has to be done at Moffitt, another bone marrow biopsy, physical exam, blood work, etc. to see if he qualifies to be a part of the study. If he does qualify, Dean will probably begin taking the medication the middle of September.
Love and hugs, Patti and Dean
