Hi Barb,

I wish you well with your COC appointment. I hope you are satisfied with what you hear. I'm happy with the COC protocol and plan to continue. We all have to make up our own minds about treatment.

Yes I’m going for it Sophie

Good for you, Barb! I got my second delivery today. It's so handy getting the prescription delivered right to your doorstep. Once the order goes through it's normally delivered the next day. Let me know how you get on. When I upped the dosage of the metformin I experienced a little bit of nausea and loss of appetite, but it passed.

I felt that the doctor I saw knew what he was talking about..the whole set up was very professional

He also said that the drugs may not work on everyone but he works at the Royal Marsdon in the research department and they’re conducting a major trial on breast cancers and use of off label drugs and he seems confident...at least he didn’t promise unrealistic outcomes but expects me to do well

Anyway I have nothing to lose so I’m giving it a go

[BangorBelle in reply to Barbteeth]

So glad to hear your news. Did he mention the name of any of these trial off label drugs? X

[Barbteeth in reply to BangorBelle]

No he didn’t

Barb xx

[BangorBelle56 in reply to Barbteeth]

That is a shame. Maybe you will let us know when you know. x

[Barbteeth in reply to BangorBelle56]

I will do that

Barb xx

[Hidden in reply to Barbteeth]

Morning Barb,

I'm so glad everything went well for you down in London and that you were happy with the consultation. Let me know how you get on with the medication.

Sophie ❤

[Barbteeth in reply to Hidden]

I certainly will

Hi Sophie,

Did you go back to the clinic before getting another prescription? Or maybe you just send them latest blood results? Realise I didn't ask all the right questions before I started! Feel great on all the drugs though! Gill x

[Hidden in reply to GollyG]

Hi Gill,

I had a follow-up appointment with Dr Mazibuko last Friday and then I received my prescription yesterday afternoon. My next CT scan isn't until 26th July and my blood test will be on 2nd August, so after I have received those results I will email them over to the COC clinic. They went by my May results for my last consultation, but I still want to keep them up to speed. A letter was sent to my oncologist asking if she would email results over, but she is not interested in doing so. I'm glad you are doing well on their protocol! I am too.

[Barbteeth in reply to GollyG]

Glad to hear that

Barb xx

[GollyG in reply to Barbteeth]

Good luck with it, I don't want to tempt fate but feel stronger and healthier since I started. Gill x

[Baseface in reply to Hidden]

It sounds like the same Dr we spoke to. We found him. Very knowledgable and candid. Although he did look a lot like Matt Berry which I found hard to get out of my head.

Pleased you felt confident to begin the protocol. My wife has been on it for a month now. Been taking statin and Metformin for a month prior to appointment.

No real problems apart from bloating which seems to have calmed down.

Good luck with it.

[Barbteeth in reply to Baseface]

Thank you

Barb xx

[Hidden in reply to Baseface]

I'm seeing Dr Mazibuko. I am very pleased with him. He used to be an NHS doctor before he went into private practice. I find him very pleasant and knowledgeable too.

I'm glad your wife is doing well with them.

Sophie

[Baseface in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, yes she is really improved from where we were 2 months ago. The Onc has stepped her down to another consultant as she is happy with her reaction to treatment. We’re very pleased with the outcome.

[Hidden in reply to Baseface]

That is very good news. You must both be really pleased. We all want to respond well to treatment and when we do it is such a relief to us and to our families!

[MyMiracle13]

Hi Barb. I am very interested to know the steps you took and what medical records you needed to send COC before your appointment. I live all the way in the Philippines and I have 2 oncologists. One in the Philippines and one in Malaysia. I need the oncologist in Malaysia because he prescribes the Ibrance for me and I buy it in Malaysia. We don’t have Ibrance yet in the Philippines. I am very interested in the COC protocol though and am willing to go to London for an appointment. My 2 children live in Glasgow so it would give me a chance to visit them😄

[Barbteeth in reply to MyMiracle13]

Nothing ventured..nothing gained

I just feel like I should be doing something else...if it fails then I’ve tried

You could go to Glasgow then take a flight to London or vice versa
