Kris started the Trial Drug yesterday

In over an 8-hour time period, Kris took her first dose of the PARP inhibitor trial drug ABT-888 after a dose of chemo. She had to have numerous blood tests in 1-hour and 2-hour increments to test the levels of the drug in her system and was supervised to check for side effects. So far she has had only minor issues with ABT-888. The chemo drug Doxil (nicknamed "red devil" by patients because of its red color and side effects) is another story. She will take the experimental ABT-888 pill twice daily from now on.
