My Journey

Hi Leonie this is my third attempt , hope I get it right this time I[ I am just learning] thank you for your welcome,the trial I am on is called the Bateman Trial the purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of an oral bisphosphonate [fosamax] in preventing bone loss in post menopausal women with early breast cancer who are receiving arimindex, as I have osteoporsis  it was a worthwile trial, I anyway I had to solve the problem of  getting to apointments as I don;t drive, public transport so all appointments are made around bus timetables. anyway so far so good, the last bone density showed an improvement, had some side effect, but o.k. now, blood tests every 3 months etc., see the oncologist every  3 months ,and so on,  Clininical trials really are necessary, and I am glad to able   to be part of this trial, my young niece [40] has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, we have had no family histroy , so really cancer can strike anyone,  thank  you once again for your welcome  hope to see you aroung the network.  regards Margaret
