Hi all, have had 2 das screenings and have been accepted for the treatment. Really pleased and also a bit nervous! I am trying not to pin all my hopes on the treatment! Ive been given a load of leaflets to read and have plumped for Golumumab which is self injected once a month. Ive got to wait for the letter to arrive to tell me to go and get a chest x rray and then wait for the phone call to say its all systems go.

Has anyone else used this medication at all?

Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas!

Love Heather xxx

Hi Heather,

Good luck with the new drug - I`ve barely heard of it, let alone been on it! Like Doreen I`ve had real benefits from humira, so hope the Golumubab is the one for you.

Hi Heather

Me too. It is also known as Simponi. The funding has been authorised for me to go on it but it has yet to go through our Drugs and Ethics Committee in Shropshire. I will be the first patient to try it in Shropshire.

I have failed on both Humira and Enbrel, so hoping that this might be the one.

Good to know other people are also going to be on it. Keep us posted.
