Trial Info and NEW DOCTOR :)

[Guest guest]

I went to U of M today to get a second opinion and to get info about being

in a trial. Well, I don't qualify for the trial... yet. Maybe in another

year he said.

d=12656/stime=1225939317/nc1=5191948/nc2=5191951/nc3=4507179> I have to be

in molecular remission for at least a year before they will let me in this

trial. So, next September will be a year.

For the GREAT news, as Dr. Erba was talking, he suggested that I haven't

gotten the right tests... which I knew. He was so completely supportive of

me being on the chat boards and learning from you guys. When I slipped and

said Zavie... he knew who I was talking about. He said something about

having to transfer care to U of M if I do get into a trial. I said, " Do I

have to wait? Can we transfer care now? " " Sure! " he said. He handed me a

copy of my lab results for today... and when he said that a nurse should

call me a few days after I have blood draws with my test results - my hubby

and I looked at each other and I laughed... " You are actually going to call

ME and let me know test results? " Doc grinned.

I am SO excited!!

I know it took me too long to get a new doctor, but now that I have, I am so

excited! It is a longer drive (2 hours each way).

Tammy,

Doctor Erba has been my doctor for 3 years now and I am extremely pleased with

him and his staff. Yes they do call with the blood work results, and blood work

you have done the same day as your appointment you will get a copy before you

leave.
