Not my type

The typing required for the clinical trial is HLA typing. I get the results from the doctor that Friday after the tests and now am face with choosing one of the other 3 options. I feel like there aren't many options, so I just go with what he likes, Yondellis. This will be administered every 21 days for 24 hours.

Yondellis is a drug that has been used with some success in Europe for years, 12, but it is still not fully approved for use in the US. I had researched it somewhat in the past, but because you seem to have to jump through the hoops of standard care practices I couldn't get it... Now I can.

That began on the 17th of February.
