After a rejection of the protocol and several revisions on Friday, we received word from Dr Schuster Monday night that the hospital review board has approved the T cell therapy. The phone calls went back and forth spreading the news and the excitement was mingled with relief, a little fear and a lot of determination. It is difficult to watch the disease progress and know that you are doing absolutely nothing about it; this approval gives us the opportunity to move passed the feelings of helplessness toward effectiveness. We have pinned all our hopes on this treatment and it has become, for us, the stuff dreams are made of. Our prayers will continue and will most likely be more intense than before, we realize we are not out of the woods, but would like to think we can see the light in the clearing.
I am well aware of the obstacles we face, but still hope lives here…
