Quick Update

No luck in the "good" week department, yet. Bill spent the day sleeping and is completely wiped out again today. I am obviously not a doctor, but I can't help but think it is a combination of both drugs that makes him so tired. Before, when he got "better" after going off of the medication, he actually stopped both drugs, not just the one harsh pill. It was assumed that it was Tipifarnib that exhausted him. I am now thinking that both drugs have a combined hypnotic effect. The problem with that is he never goes off of the other drug (Sorafenib); it is taken every single day... if he has to take these drugs forever, then the regimen will need to be altered to allow him a life that is somewhat vertical. Remaining horizontal for the majority of a day doesn't bode well for participating in the human race... but again, I'm not a doctor, and you know what happens when you assume something.
