Well I won't say yesterday was fun, but, we got everything done anyway. Blood work, EKG, echo-cardiogram (ultra-sound of the heart), CT scan, PET scan, plus a regular exam and meeting with the trial docs. My system is currently full of contrast dyes and radioactive sugar. Yay me!
None of the results are back yet except the blood work, which looks normal. All the other stuff will probably take a few days. They're also mailing us copies of the scans on disk to add to our ever-growing collection.
So now we wait. They'll be giving us our date for next week soon, hopefully that will just be an up-and-back trip with no overnight; it sounds like they're willing to cover train tickets for both of us, which would be great.
So, that's all for now. Sometime in the next 10 days I'll be starting my new meds. And then it will be follow-ups every 2 weeks for a couple months to see how it's progressing.
So excited for real progress!
