9/14/16 - One Hurdle Before The New Trial Starts
A few hours ago I posted about the new clinical trial, and how the first step was that they would screen my blood markers to ensure I was within safe limits. I just received a call from my Nurse and the Trial Coordinator, and it appears that two of my blood markers are elevated to the point where I cannot participate in the clinical trial. My AST and ALT markers in my liver are too elevated.
What we will try to do is stop all medications I'm taking, drink lots of water to flush everything out of my system, and try another blood draw on Friday morning. Hopefully this works so I can start the trial! I'll post when I find out the final results.
Thanks again!
