Alive for Another Month
Thursday, January 10, 2013:
Well, that title is a bit over-dramatic. But it is how I feel, every month when the results come in and the cancer is still stable. The study drug pomalidomide will doubtless stop working for me someday, but this month is in the bank.

Pomalidomide Trial:
Chicken, squash, broccoli, white and
