Hi All,
Things have been going up and down for me. I am having major chronic GVHD and having to go to Vandy every week for treatments to help. The treatments are Photo pherysis (sp) - every week two times during that week and a treatment takes about 4 hours. They take my blood out with a 17 gage needle - yeah that is a BIG BITCH ! let me tell you .... then once the blood is out in this machine it goes into these honey comb looking things and once they all full they close the lid and zap the blood with UV rays and they put blood back in my body and it will help with my major side affects I am having.
The affects are skin is super tight and getting tighter and keeps pulling and pulling my skin - it hurts and is very uncomfortable. My eyes are also killing me with pain and soreness.
Well that all for now will write more every week again.

To invade my body and take a bite.
This is my Body and with all my might .
I will prevail with one hell of a fight.
To the cancer inside, I will battle and kill.
For that is my bodies God given will.
To my cancer, these words I do send.
Your life is short and near the end.

A new clinical trial is underway to study a cancer drug known as EP-100 in patients with skin, ovarian, breast, prostate, endometrial and pancreatic cancer.
The Phase 1 trial will study 36 adult patients who have had biopsies that demonstrate high levels of the luteinizing releasing hormone receptors (LHRH), a prominent characteristic of cancer cells. Scientists will give patients a specific amount of EP-100 through an intravenous method for three out of the four week study.
The goal of EP-100 is to be a membrane disrupting peptide (tMDP) that goes after specific cancer cells in patients with solid tumors. Researchers are testing the drug to perform a routine they call “seek and destroy,” which will go after cells in one’s body that may have increased amounts of LHRH.
Preliminary results from the pre-clinical trials held in ovarian cancer cell lines were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, located in Denver, CO. Physicians and researchers are hopeful that the drug will be a huge advancement for uterine and ovarian cancer patients. Many patients with advanced cancer will require new treatments and EP-100 may be the next paradigm of research.
Studies with mice have shown a decrease in size of tumors in people with several different types of cancer. Researchers are hopeful that EP-100 will be effective for patients and become a solidified alternative to chemotherapy and radiation with less negative results. The most uplifting news yet show that this drug does not harm normal, healthy cells, which may lead to higher standards to existing cancer therapies.
By providing FDA alerts, drug information, drug interactions and the latest news about prescription, over the counter medications and clinical trials, we can ensure an environment where patients have the best knowledge on their medical treatment and health.

What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill freindship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silience courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirt
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill freindship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silience courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirt
