Next Appointment at HOPE

When we went to City of Hope on Monday, and they told us of this trial we were given pages and pages of paperwork to look over. Given that this was our only option of treatment, I was ready to stay and sign right then and there, despite the confused look the doctor gave me. Bill wanted to go home and read the paperwork before he signed on the dotted line. I couldn't argue with him, since he IS the actual patient, and since it's his body I guess he should have a say. On the way home I read the entire "novel" about the trial and even read some pieces aloud so Bill could get the gist of it. The very next day Bill called back and to make the next appointment. Surprisingly, he got an appointment for Thursday (today), but it was cancelled. (Nothing shocks us anymore.) They told him that they are adding a new drug to the trial and the hospital's IRB Board needs to approve it, but they only meet on Tuesdays. Go figure... So now, his paper signing, blood work, and possible CT scan are next Thursday, September 25th. The doctor only does clinics on Mondays and Thursdays, so I'm betting that those are his treatment days. I'm thinking of putting a sign-up on the front door for drivers to and from the hospital - just kidding, you will have to fight me (and Joe and Ann) for it!
