The drug of my choice: SGN-35, will not be open in NYU till February or later. So, the SAHA will bridge me (hopefully) till we get to the spring.
So how's the cancer? Eh. It's not that great. But, I'm still here, kicking butt, four classes, internship and all. Let's just say, it's spread. a lot. And we hope it shrinks. a lot.
So schedule. Oy vey, is this one gonna kill me. Try fitting four visits to NYU in your overloaded Master's level semester? In november, I see Dr. O and Zain on November: 11th, 16th, 25th, and 30th.
So send some good vibes those days, as most likely I go in on a 5am train, and head back on a 5pm train all in one day.
After that month. I come back once every three weeks. (not too bad)
We scan on December 21st, if it's good. It's good.
If not, we have a back up plan. so, no worries.
The drug is oral. So, ten pills a day for two weeks. Then one week off. Not too shabby.
So, let's hope for little to no side effects, for me to make it through this semester!
And for smiles, I'll leave you with some great pictures of the last few months with no treatment:
Hope you all are well.... and are getting ready for my favorite holiday ever. :) Turkey Day!

Dear Bekah,
Your hair is so cute! You look great. I didn't realize you were up in NYC. I visited for the first time a few weeks ago. I LOVED it! I wish you the best of luck with this new treatment and I hope it kicks the cancers ***. You are amazing!
Hi Bekah,
Wishing you all the best with this new treatment. Fingers and toes crossed that it will push things WAYYYY back.
Beautiful tribute to Adrienne too.
Take good care,
Kirsten

It is so good to see you surrounded by smiling people who obviously love you a lot. I admire the good decisions you make about your treatment options and your priorities.
You may recall me as Austin's mom. Austin is thankfully still N.E.D. after his aHSCT.
