Hi Everyone
Well, I just got a call from my onclogist - I have been rejected from the clinical trial because of my heart. I have a left bundle branch block - which we knew about going into this. The trial drug can cause some serious heart problems and as such, they said best for me not to be in the trial.
I am disappointed to say the least - would have been nice to help others down the line and it could have helped me as well.
My chemo still starts on the 10th. I am not sure if I am still on the every three week program or if that changes to weekly - guess will find out. I have to go and see Dr. P on Monday to get my scripts for the two drugs I need to take. And our lovely provincial government does not cover them - they are supplemental. So will land paying for these. Will only need 6 at this time of the anti-nausea drugs and 18 of the anti-allergy drugs.
Hope you all have been enjoying the wig blog - it was a lot of fun and man, there are some bad wigs out there - they looked ok on the heads but when they were put on my head - yech!
All for now...and there will be more later!!!

Just thinking about you Roni and checking in. So sorry to hear that you have to bear the cost of the meds. Geeze - when I think of some of the things our govemenments spend money on - it's just not right for this to happen. Disappointing for you not to be in the trial - but I'm so glad your oncologist is doing what's best for you. You have done more than you already know for so many people. I know you have enriched my life and I've never even met you.
Hugs, Mavis
