Wyant’s Treatments Are Under Way

Mr. Wyant

One of a series. 

The Miracle of Scott Wyant continued apace early this morning.

The Planning Commissioner, coming back from brain surgery this month, returned to UCLA, briefly, “for one of my various treatment regimens.”

At 6:10 this morning, he reiterated what has become a familiar mantra. “I am feeling better than I have any right to be feeling. I feel really good.

“Today I will literally start therapy,” Mr. Wyant said. “I haven’t done any radiation or chemotherapy at all.”

Mr. Wyant, who ran for the City Council last month, has been accepted into two separate clinical trials.

One, entirely about data gathering, “will not help me personally. But, in the long run, if they can establish patterns they think they can find there, it will forever change therapy for this kind of stuff.”

Mr. Wyant’s assignment this morning centered on the second clinical trial concerning a new chemotherapy drug.

This is a blind or randomized trial.

“I will not know which group I am in,” he said.

One group will be undergoing traditional radiation/chemotherapy and a new drug that is being tested. The other group will be just radiation and the new drug.

By the way, on a social note, Mr. Wyant and his wife Leslie are traveling to the Napa Valley next weekend.

Annually, there is a get-together with old chums, including former schoolmates from his Stockton days. Card-playing is first on the agenda.
