Today I went in for my 4 week appointment for the study drug.  I have been a little nauseous off and on still with this new drug but overall I feel alright.  Today they drew the regular labs as well as the study labs.  When I went into the exam room the nurse said that this is her last week working at Huntsman so she needed to say goodbye and give me a hug.  She has been a great nurse and I have enjoyed working with her.  She is moving on to a new job at Primary Children's Hospital.  She said that it is hard working at Huntsman.

My doctor's team was pleased to see the results from my lab work today.  Apparently they were all really good and sometimes at this point there are some side effects from the drug such as anemia  - which I don't have any signs of.

After I met with the doctor the study coordinator got the new round of medication for me and I was sent on my way home.  I don't have to come back for another 4 weeks.
