So my oncologist phoned me last night to let me know I was approved for a new drug. This drug although there is research to say that it does help reverse this kind of cancer is not approved for this treatment so we had to wait to get special permission to use it.
The approval just came from the government so I am going to be starting this treatment right away. This drug will stop my body from producing estrogen so that the Megestrol pills that I am currently taking will work more effectively. Unfortunately this pill has a lot of side effects so I hopefully do not get them all because that would make the next couple of months drag by if I am sick all of the time. But I guess I should not worry about it too much and just wait to see if I get the symptoms.
