I've been recently waiting for results on qualifying for a trial. My husband and I where told last week we'd find out the results this week, so I was getting really anxious as the week went on. About 6 oclock I found my answer, and about 1,000 more questions..
Around quarter after 5 the phone rang with Karmanos (clinic) on the ID... this alone gave me the butterfly-stomach feeling. I was told they were unable to obtain my tissue samples they were switching me to a different trial. I was extremely unprepared to hear this, and well as disappointed. After the initial confusion of it, the expert cancer patient questions started pouring out. I overwhelmed the man on the phone, he wasn't planning on that. He said he was forwarding the trial information to me, and I should email my questions to oncologist.
My husband will be home soon enough, and we'll weed through another trial... This should be continued tomorrow, when I know exactly what's going on. I'm feeling frustrated really, not feeling crying or anything... My emotions will probably catch up with me tomorrow. Frustrated and surprised... Please be praying for my family with this xx
