Clinical Trials - How did we choose?

 How should parents go about making a life-impacting choice for their child who is a childhood cancer warrior?

Think and Pray.  Work hard and Pray harder.

For Jim and me, this choice started with what we knew we did NOT want for Esther (or any of our children if they were in her shoes).

We didn't want: chemotherapy (aka, poison), invasive procedures/surgeries, artificial implants, extensive in-patient hospital stays, long-term prescription drugs, a trial treatment that was just hoping to reduce tumor-size or prevent tumor-growth.

We did want: noninvasive treatment, short or no hospital stays, minimal drugs/prescriptions, and a trial treatment that plans to actually kill the tumor.

SDT-201 sonodynamic therapy clinical trial by SonALAsense has everything we were praying for in a clinical trial for Esther - it even has some bonuses!

Since this trial is being financially covered by grants and sponsors, we have ZERO out-of-pocket costs.  As a family of 10 just making ends meet every month, this is a tremendous answer to prayer.  We have also found our favorite hospital and team of doctors here at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C.

Praise the Lord!
