Hi everyone,
Thank you for the continued encouragement, love, and support!❤️
The oncology research nurse specialist called yesterday.
She sent over the paperwork for the clincial trial consent.
Next week, we meet with his multiple myeloma specialist, followed by a meeting with the oncology research nurse specialist.
At the appointment with the oncology reaearch nurse specialist, he signs the consent forms that he reviewed last night, and that begins the process of scheduling pre-screening appointments for the actual trial.
Some of the upcoming screening tests after signing the consent forms at the appointment include (copied from the forms):
Review of medications and medical history
Physical exam by study doctor
Measure height and weight
Measure temperature, breathing rate, blood pressure, oylxygen levels
Measure heartbeat by electrocardiogram (ECG)
Imaging bone x-ray, CT Scan, PET/CT scan to look for disease throughout your body
Bone Marrow Aspirate/Biopsy
Urine sample to measure multiple myeloma proteins in your urine
Blood tests
Breathing tests
We’ll continue to update the blog and share what we learn along the way.
We are feeling excited to get started and extremely anxious at the same time.
Thank you for being here! ❤️
Keep Pounding Rob!
