A fourth technology ALK inhibitor supplied to me by Turning Level Therapeutics by means of compassionate use.
At 1:30 pm in the present day I took the primary dose. Earlier than handing me the tiny pill (it’s one mg), Dr. Lin and my nurse Heather carried out just a little ritual—a blessing of types. After which, down the hatch.
By Dr. Lin’s estimate I’m the third individual on the earth to take this drug (it’s in scientific trial in Australia) and subsequently it’s inconceivable tp predict uncomfortable side effects.
Honestly, I’m much more concerned with efficacy. And the factor is, if this experimental therapeutic goes to be efficient for me, I could know very quickly. Likewise if there is no such thing as a response.
After dosing I frolicked on the hospital for an extra two hours of statement. I squeezed in my second nap of the day (I had been there since 7:30 am) and after I woke up I simply had this sense that one thing was happening in my physique. One thing good.
So mild some candles. Cross some fingers. Have a chat with the universe on my behalf.
