Right. Just been speaking to a supplier of ours. His wife is on chemo. She’s been very unwell for a good while now sadly. He gets to telling me about this drug that they called the Red Devil. Says how it makes your pee red, etc etc but she’s on an experimental version. Now this fella isn’t the worlds smartest but he tells a good story. He says “they’ve got her on this trial, and the doctor goes to me, “she should be on this much but she’s actually on this much”” he then does a hand gesture to show she’s on a lot more. And I said is the drug called Doxorubicin by any chance? And he says “yeah that’s the one!” He asked me how I know and I just gave a vague reasoning because I suddenly felt like a vampire while this poor bastards talking about his very sick wife. He says she’s responded really well and she’ll be spending Christmas at home. Again I didn’t probe any further, plus what would I even ask? “Did they take biopsies?!” I actually felt terrible talking about it to him. On one hand I was thinking oh my god this is incredible. And the other overwhelming feeling was oh my god this is **** horrendous for him.
I couldn’t get more detail out of him, firstly I felt like a **** asking too many questions about the drug and not his wife, but do we know any other company who are trialling dox at double the dose? I know none of this means anything because without numbers/biopsies it’s just an anecdotal story but it’s crazy to actually come across someone who (I think) knows someone who was on the trial.
