Even though TLK286 is fairly benign as chemo agents go, the literature so far does say that there are side effects: principally nausea. Susan experienced that last night and today, in addition to abdominal pain--away from the site of her operation, and likely associated with the tumor that we know is still there close to or on her colon. We will appreciate your prayers that she doesn't have a second intestinal blockage at this site, since it would set her back in her chemo schedule in the clinical trial.
