Dale won the MD Anderson computer lottery today!
He gets the new experimental Pfizer drug, Figitumumab, that looks to beat standard chemotherapy responses to his type cancer by about 23% better odds! Yippee! Hooray!
To quote my Father, "I'm the luckiest guy around!".
Thursday's treatment will take about 7 hours for all three drugs to be administered. Dale will have several blood draws prior to treatment and then another blood draw one hour after treatment.

To Phyllis, the Queen and your dad, Dale:
I had to check out your blog. It's so amazing how small a world it can be. To have so much in common, such a personal fight, and not know each other. I hope it's okay for me to follow how your dad does.
Good luck on Thursday. It's a long day. We brought a lot of protein snacks, drinks and movies along.
Lee,
If you wouldn't mind sharing your email address with me. I'd love it if you could answer some questions about the early days of chemo?

I just sent answers. Good luck tomorrow. Positive "vibes" going your way!
