Cool Jeannie - Pegasys


Howdy Jeannie-
Talked to the U of A Hospital here, where my HCV specialist is, this is happening quick,
since I quaulified for their program, it appears I am on their list.
I will have to go in before Christmas for a battery of tests, yikes, I hope they do not want a biopsy just yet, that just occured to me.
Anyway Roche has supplied 50 complete kits, I am not sure if it is the hospital that is adding the ribavarin, I am thinking that it is, the kits are to be picked up at the hospital because, of course the drug stores will not supply Pegasys until it is fully passed here in Canada, again there will be no charge for me.

The kits are a 48 week supply, however the hospital states that if after 12 weeks if I was not responding to the Pegasys combo , they would cease the treatment , I believe the hospital received the kits because they had been a large part of the Pegasys original study and testing since the beginning.

Also the treatments start right quick after the new year, like the begining of January, I was hoping to have more time to prepare, physically I am ready, mentally needs work, ha ha.

So if everything goes good for both of us, we may again be going though this together, if you do not get one of the 15.000, I may be your guide instead of you being possibly mine, interesting how things work out huh

Have you heard back from your doc if you made the list?

be well and-

Hey Neil,

I sure hope you can still pass a test at your age

I haven't heard anything back from my doc's office that I know of but if I get in on this I have to start before Jan 1.

I'm not gonna worry though because my dad had a heart attack Saturday and I would not be in any shape to deal with treatment and this. (God knew this was coming and that's why He didn't let me start already!)

Saw your post and wanted to make a quick note. I'll get back with ya'll later.

Be blessed,
Jeannie
