We got great news when we went to see Dr. Zhu at Mass General on Thursday 4/23/15. They found the FGFR2 mutation in the biopsy results. Now I have to have several different tests and as long as I pass them, I’ll be admitted into the trial. When we were there Thursday I had blood and urine work, EKG and a CT scan.

Got an email late Friday and I’m scheduled for a MUGA Test – test of my heart, similar to an ECHO cardiogram, an eye exam and more blood work for Tuesday, April 30, 2015. We’ve got to be there for 9:15 so it’ll be an early leave time from East Hartford.

Ray and I picked up his new SUV on Friday – he got a 2012 Honda Pilot. Very nice vehicle. We’ll be traveling to Boston in it. The passenger seat totally reclines so I’ll be able to nap very comfortablely. Feeling excited and apprehensive about the possibility this clinical trial can offer. I need to ‘pass’ all these tests to get into the trial. I don’t see why I won’t, but you never know. Hoping all goes well. If it does, I have a funny feelng that I may be starting this trial as soon as Thursday of this week.

The kitchen and porch are almost finished. We are using the new kitchen. There is just some painting and touch up to be done. Can’t wait to get onto my sun porch and begin enjoying my room.

Thanks to all for your continued prayers and support. We feel so loved and cared for. You are my strength and I’m feeling really strong!
