Or, everyday Angels? Diane and I just returned from Houston following my first treatment with the new trial.  As I previously mentioned it was a long week.  The trip took 5 nights, but most days were pretty light on appointments. Monday was a little busy.  I did an early morning fasting blood draw, then an Electrocardiograph (EKG), followed by visit to the Vascular Access department to flush my port.  The port is imbedded above my right breast that allows vein access for chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and normal blood draws.  It was placed there for the chemotherapy I took last summer.  However, it has had very little use since then because the previous immunotherapy trial I was on required arm access for the transfusions.  This new trial will use it for multiple blood draws.  I’m happy to give my veins a little break! On Tuesday we only had one appointment but it was an important meeting.  We met with a trial doctor for final approval and clearance, which was dependent on Monday’s tests
