Phase one trial treatment. . BRAF

HEY hey Hey!

So I am heading to Houston on Tuesday of next week. Once I get there it will be all testing. I then start the official treatment on Monday. The treatment is called BRAF. It is a targeted cell therapy. The idea is to stop the protein called BRAF from making more cancer cells. The treatment comes in cycles of three weeks and they are all back to back. So the first cycle I have to be there every day. The second cycle I have to be there on day one and day eight. So basically I am going to be down there for almost five weeks. Only four other people in the world have gone through the treatment. They are on dose three or four by now. Oh and they are from Australia. So there will be two of us doing the treatment in Houston and there will be another two in Nashville. 
While I am down in Houston I have decided that I am going to write. My whole story. The good, bad, and the ugly. I will still blog and email. But lets face it I will have a lot of time on my hands. Hopefully I won't be too sick. 
I am going to see Britney Spears on Sept. 16th with Kayla! I am so excited! I think she is going to call me up on stage! A girl can wish!
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers! I think this is going to be a good thing. I am a little nervous but ready at the same time!
I will try to blog every day and keep you all updated.
Again thank you all

Love~
