Success Story

We spoke with the oncologist yesterday. After hearing that there was no more growth of the tumors, we spoke with the guy who manages the clinical trial. He asked Layne if he'd be alright with being a 'success story' for a report he was doing. We joked a little about it. We were told that Layne was the only one still doing the trial they had started months ago. It would be told as an anonymous case study and just have the clinical details given. It was nice to be able to have a light conversation about a clinical trial. I also like that those who are there, do their best to keep the conversations positive - even though they might be sharing not so great news. I'm not sure I'd go so far as 'upbeat' because they also do well with being compassionate when needed. I like that they are genuine. We are very grateful to be moving forward. The oncologist extended the time frame for another appointment with him. That was a nice feeling. It was as if everything was OK for a few minutes.
