Thanks to everyone. The trial is very specific. You have to be cancer free and have had your last treatment within12 weeks ago. You also have to have the good old bracken gene. Age doesnt seem a factor. However the usual stuff like questionnaire what drugs are you on heart problems etc I am lucky enough to be very healthy umm umm well I did have cancer. They also take a family history.
The good news is with this drug they have trialled it on metastatic cancer patients and seen improvement by up to 4o percent. The doctor told me that in ovarian cancer in some cases they have improved extent of life by 19months.
Good stuff hey.
Another point of interest was I need to get my ovaries out and I was told to go to a gynecologist who specializes in oncology as the test result are more accurate? anyway thats her recommendation.
So looking forward to a fun year. All follow ups now will be at Peter Mac. As to getting on the trial I suppose ring Peter Mac. I have to be ready to start May 30th. May 10 another appointment blood mri etc the usual tests.
