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.

Finished Cycle 24

Hi, All - finished Cycle 24 of the Sutent Clinical Trial on Tuesday night.. It was kind of a crappy cycle - Hand-Foot Syndrome was painful and I had it on my hands in addition to my feet. Also very fatigued.

Still, it wasn't the worst it's been and I'm very grateful to be part of it.

I'll have a CT scan late next week and will go down to St. Louis to get the results on February 3.

Thanks for your continuing support.

John
