They invited me back this week to begin screening all of the remaining criteria required for my body to meet. They also need me to have another CT scan before the end of the screening period but they need to do it there in London. Basically they have 35 days to complete the screening process and let me know if I am in or out of the trials.
Really it’s all stuff that’s out of my control but one criteria is that my haemoglobin must be above 90. I can’t remember the last time it was that high. And you cannot begin the trial within three weeks of having a blood transfusion. I think this could be the one that lets me down, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
If I do get on the trials, I will have to travel to London twice every three weeks. It takes almost two hours each way, so it’s quite a trek for both Andy Andy and me. I nearly passed out on our first visit so we brought me in from the car park in the wheelchair the second time.
Otherwise I’m not bad in myself, just tired and can’t get about very much.
