Howdy all-
Well kind of anyway, out of the fifty thousand or so people with HCV in this Province, and only fifty Full Pegasys/Ribavarin treatments being given out, I, ME, NEIL, LOST1, is one of them.
I just found out, I will receive the Pegasys, bloodtests, check ups, monitering, DR vists, etc all for FREE, the only thing it will cost me is the driving to the city.
This is the actual treatments, closely moniterd, but not a "study" as such, that may have placebo's,etc, the results from these actual fifty will probebly weigh on our FDA's desison, its a full 48 week package, but IF I am not responding at 12 weeks, they will discontinue the treatment, so no treatment damage will be done to the patients, [ME].
Quite a unique Chirtmas present don't you think?, $27.000.00 dollars just for the Pegasys/Rivarin alone, its real sudden for me without a lot of real time to prepare, as the Pegasys treatment will not be available here until summer 2003 but I have been preparing for this since last spring, its not like making up your mind to treat, then knowing the day, week, month your going to start.
A couple of days after chirstmas I will be fully checked over and have all the tests, and will start probebly in the first week of the new year, which is a little over three weeks.
This is somthing I just can not turn down, even if I was reluctant to try treatment at this time, if I am ever going to treat, now is the time,the cost is right, outstanding care at one of the countrys leading hospitals,if not the # 1, care under professional liver specialist's.
It surpasses going with treatment, that will cost a lot, even with healthcare help, and doing it under care from a country Doc that you taught more about HCV then he taught you.
