Well, It has been two weeks since my last doctor's appointment, and they FINALLY sent me the paperwork for that clinical trial. I still haven't gotten the hard copies, but they emailed me the pdfs of the files. I've read all 40 pages (40!!) of what will happen if I decide to do this trial, and what could happen if it goes bad, and what could happen if it goes well. It sounds to me like the science is there to say that this probably works in other cancers, and the treatment has relatively minor effects, so I am leaning toward doing the trial. I've emailed several more questions to the doctor's office, so hopefully I can get answers, and get started on the path I choose instead of just wavering at the corner.
Making this decision is much harder than I thought it would be. I think I am over-analyzing it. It is very hard to make a choice with such lasting consequences, when I can't predict with any certainty what the outcome will be with either choice.
