Doug has evidently broken another rib. He didn't tell me right away. He says the pain was manageable until he sneezed this evening. Then it got bad enough for him to take a percoset, and he doesn't like to take pain meds.
There is nothing to be done for a broken rib except to rest. But I did report it to the nurse navigator.
Doug is eligible for a clinical trial. The nurse in charge of the trial paperwork emailed us 12 pages of detail. The drug is Oprozomib and it is a phase 2 trial to test safety and effectiveness at different doses. Doug has not decided if he will participate; we would need to stay in Denver for close monitoring for weeks. We don't know yet if hotel and travel expenses would be paid. And we would need to board the dogs at a kennel. We will discuss this August 20th when Doug has his appointment with the specialist.
