Hi All,

I got a call from the study nurse and she said that I have an appointment on the 6th. It was too late to call her back so I don't know when to fly in. I checked the prices and it seems like it will be over $300 if booked within the week. I hope to be able to plan further in advance if I get in the study and need to go back at least 9 times. I will call the airline to see if I can get a discount. It may sound silly but I HATE to tell my story to someone and ask for favors. When I hear me tell my own story it makes ME sad. Stage IV cancer going for a trial drug (then I start to cry), blahh, blahh, blahh... Please don't get me wrong I am sooo excited to have the chance to go to Michigan to see if I can get into this trial ... but my own personal story still makes me sad. I wish this cancer would just GO AWAY!

I will keep you posted. Thanks for your support.

Love, Hope, Peace, Carolyn
