An afternoon at the hospital - scans etc

[Sunnydrinking]

Hi ladies

Just to say, nearly all my tests leading up to the clinical trial have almost been completed👍

Yesterday I had Blood tests, a 90 min full body mri scan, a ct scan with contrast and an ECG. Phew...

I’m back Monday for a physical examination including skin etc and may get to know which treatment I will be on - Elacestrant or standard of care. It’s just a random selection process, like a toss of a coin.

If all goes well, I’m back at the hospital on Thursday and start treatment.

We are having a family BBQ for my father in laws’s 90th birthday today. Our typical British weather which you can never rely on, is looking like it will ☔️!!

Enjoy your weekend and wish you all well.

Will be thinking of you this week and hope you get the trial ... at least you will have had the benefit of all the extra tests , so that’s at least one positive already from doing a trial !

Enjoy your barbecue and time with family today ... hopefully you have the gazebo up!! 💕

Hi Barb

Yes, I was very shattered last night but I’ve bounced back today.

Will keep you posted. Just hope whatever treatment I go on next knocks the cancer for six!

Hope so

I’m struggling with the morphine slow release...hideous side effects...feel sick dizzy and peculiar...going to stop them today...will just go back on my old routine and see doctor for advice...no point feeling so crap...I’m dragging myself round for the bbq in a bit...can’t even have a bloody drink!

Sorry to moan

Wow, Jo, the description of your day made my knees weak! I'd literally be a weeping heap if I had all that in one day!! So glad you got through it and now comes the exciting part!

I hope you're able to enjoy your BBQ!

Hi Jo,

It sounds like you have had a full MoT! I hope you are given the new drug, rather than standard of care treatment. You must be getting so excited at the prospect of starting the trial. I hope everything goes well for you and that you respond well to the treatment. Please keep us posted!

We are having a BBQ later on too. Hopefully the weather will hold up for you and for us. We had a heavy shower earlier. I want some cooler weather! Roll on autumn.

Take care,

Thanks for doing all that. What a process. I hope you make it into the trial. Hope the sun comes out for part of your barbeque.

Cheers, June S.

Jo,

Way to go! I am not sure I could do all of that in one day. I would probably need to sleep two days afterwards. I hope you get the trial drug and it turns out to be a terrific treatment. Blessings, Hannah

Jo, you are on your way! I pray everything works out and you can start on Thursday. You are amazing.

Sending hugs and love.

❤️ Yes must have been tiring — well done, indeed! It can be a part time job, this cancer thing. (Lets keep it “part time”).

Wishing you all the best for the trial. I’ve got everything crossed you get the drug. Keep us up-to-date.
