I got a phone call from the research nurse for the clinical trial today. I have to see the surgeon on Tuesday and hoped I could see the Oncologist the same day as to not have to make so many trips. But of course...I cannot get in on that day.
So I have to go in and see the Oncologist on Thursday and have the pre-testing done before I can start chemo and the clinical trial. I need to have some blood tests, chest x-rays and a MUGA scan.
Will be about 2-3 weeks and chemo starts. I am fully expecting my hair to fall out in a few weeks but I just need to get this thing on the move.
I just thought I would drop a short update to keep ya informed. I will let you know how it goes next week.
Chat with you soon.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well on Tuesday. Thursday will be a huge step forward for you, getting all of this stuff out of the way for the Chemo.
ReplyDeleteDid they tell you how long your Chemo will last, in terms of each time you are there? Mom went in around 8am to the infusion center and was there until around 4. Gene would pack a lunch and they would eat together and hang out all day. Bring lots of magazines or books too! He never left her side, it was so cute to see him taking care of her. Gene called me and wanted Flora updates...he is really pulling for you my dear.
As always sending positive thoughts your way,
