Can you have steroids in TDM1 trial?? need encouragement
The swollen bits in my body has been diagnosed as super vena cava obstruction..i.e nodes around the vein pressing on it.. not good to say the least..
they want to put me on high dose dexa for the time being and we are scanning at 9 am in the morning ..they actually wanted to keep me in but i refused because I was unprepared for my puppy.
Anyhow I hope this will not affect the starting date of the trial which in the long run could be the answer..
I cannot see any thing about being on steroids as an exclusion criteria about the theresa trial.. does any one know for sure??
I am trying to remain hopeful it will not delay things but hoping hoping
