I started the new clinical trial meds on June 27th.
AZD9291 and AZD6094. I am on this specific trial because the new biopsy showed a new mutation of a gene called MET-C and the AZD6094 is a MET-C inhibitor.
I had a CT scan and MRI to se if the new meds are working and all the tumors have either decreased in size or remained the same.
They will continue to do scans every six weeks to make sure these drugs continue working.
On another note, the old clinical trial meds caused me to have constant tachycardia and I was put on beta-blockers. Now that I am off the old trial, I was able to get off my heart medication.
The only side effect of this regimen is fatigue but I am already used to this new normal. However I do miss taking advantage of all New York City has to offer.
Thanks again for all your prayers and good wishes.
So glad to hear the good news. I'm sitting here with Debbie Kaner and enjoying the beautiful weather and very happy that the treatment is working for you. Debbie and I say a mishebayrach for you every Shabbat.
