Thyroid Cancer Fight

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Nov., 1999. Surgery and radioactive iodine followed. In Dec., 2006, I found a lump in my neck that turned cancerous. Shortly thereafter, it was found to have metastasized throughout my body and to be untreatable and inoperable. I started a clinical trial with Sutent (sunitinib) since Apr., 2007. In Nov., 2013, the tumors began growing again and I was removed from the Sutent Clinical Trial. I started a clinical trial taking of CEDIRANIB on 04/09/14.

Hi, All - I went down to St. Louis Monday and saw Dr. Needles. Normally, I would be starting the next cycle of Sutent today, November 21. Dr. Needles decided he wanted me to wait a week and try to get my feet healed up more. I'll start my next cycle on Wednesday, November 28. My next appointment with Dr. Needles is January 9.

Dr. Carlson, I have an appointment with you on December 4. Normally, that would be 2 weeks into the drug cycle, but it's only 1 week into the revised schedule. Please let me know if you want me to reschedule this appointment.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

John
