Week 2: Peter

 This week has been pretty slow. The procedure I was to shadow this week got pushed back to the 24th as the patient had not stopped taking a certain medication. I have been doing a lot of background reading and have some cells to take care of now. The goal is to get a flow experiment started up next week so I'm super excited to learn that technique. I also shadowed some more mouse work. In the clinic, I saw some patients with varying levels of maladies. One had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor that while not malignant had shown a potential to grow. This patient will be getting surgery in July. Another patient had a tumor around their hepatic artery so it is currently inoperable. Hopefully chemo is able to turn it around.
