TDM1 Trial Participants: I Need Advise

Hi All,

As some of you may know I have flown to Detroit to try to qualify for the trial there. I may be getting in and start treatment next week (fingers still crossed to be verified on Monday). I will be flying back and forth to get treatment and screening every week if I get in.

Anyway, my questions are:

1). If I get treated on Friday will I be okay to fly home that night Detroit to FLL (3 hour flight)? Typically when I have done chemo of any kind I am okay for at least the first 12 hours. I prefer to get home for the support of my friends and family... to be in my own bed and near my cancer center where they always are just a quick phone call and drive away (they also have a TDM1 trial and know much about it... the trial they have is not open to me). So if you were me would you come home that night?

2). Pre-meds - do you get any?

3). Any words of wisdom on this trial? I am going to take a look back at Chrisy's liver diet and drink extra water.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Love, Hope, Peace, Carolyn
