Sunitinib Trial Update

I just got a call from one of the phase one trial nurses who told me that the PET scan people have decided I am not eligible for the trial. Apparently the "lesions" (aka tumors, I believe) are too small for them to reliably follow with their imaging technology. Good news for me, maybe, as far as the cancer's progression is concerned, but not so great in the what-next-for-treatment department. And I won't know about that until I get a chance to talk with Dr. Holen, my oncologist, who is out of town for the week.

Sigh. The big annoyance is that I was beginning to think it was safe to plan some trips for the winter, and now that's all up in the air again.
