  • Thank you @suburbangirl! I'm just about to switch on my fancy gadget and log my hot flushes since the appointment today. Eight since midday... If it's quantity they're after I'm good on that front!

    Yes, the schedule is pretty full on. If I get in I'll be done by December 30th, and I'll have to attend five appointments. Fortunately today's was the only fasting one.

    I will keep you posted! K xox
  • Hi @kmakm,
    Thrilled for you that you have got into the trial. I will be so interested to hear how it goes for you.
    I too am at the mercy of hot flushes (flashes) and trying efexor hasn't really helped.
    I would love to be considered for the trial but working full time may make it tricky for appts, tests etc. 
    Keep us posted and good luck!

  • Well the news is that the parameters to be eligible for the QUE trial were too strict. So they they have loosened them somewhat and I am now enrolled in the pre-trial trial, to see if I'm eligible. I've been into the Royal Women's today, given blood & urine, and have to count & rate my hot flushes for the next fortnight. If I meet their requirements I'll be in.

    If I am eligible it means I'll have to wait until January to have my Letrozole holiday.

    Let the games begin!
  • This is the same study as the Que one. It's quite confusing, but if you haven't had your ovaries removed, or a hysterectomy, or your tubes tied, if you are under 55 you won't be eligible. None of this is made clear in their recruitment material.

    I was sent the info and consent forms, before I had a phone interview where I was then ruled out because I don't fit the bill as stated above.

    If anybody is interested it will be a fairly short and intense trial with a lot of medical appointments and tests. I'd still be up for it if they'd have me; the hot flushes have and continue to be detrimental in my quality of life, especially when it comes to sleep disruption.

    It'd be interesting to know how long it takes them to recruit their subjects, and fascinating to learn if the medication works. Hope so.
