I finally received an appointment with Sparrow Hospital to
get the new AZD9291 drug in Lansing on Friday, October 2. And I am very excited to learn that I won’t
spend more than a couple of hours at the hospital. No scans, no blood work, no tests. Just some consultations with the oncologist and
nurse. I can go to and from Lansing in a
day! Good thing, since it is Homecoming
weekend for Michigan State University that weekend and there are no hotel rooms
available!
I will have to have blood tests done near home each week and
have the results faxed to Sparrow and then go back to get a refill three weeks
after the first one. After that, it
would be one trip every six weeks or whenever the FDA approves the drug for
general use. When that happens, I will
be able to fill the prescription through Rush and right to home.
Let’s hope the good news keeps coming! And let the healing begin!
