I had gone to the practice doing the study and was given a 22 page packet of what to expect each week and the office visits. Yikes!! I was scheduled for a liver biopsy the end of March 2009. I was called and told that the pharm. company wanted me to move it up sooner, as they were anxious to have everyone get started. We would only be known as a number by the pharm. company, as no names would be mentioned. And my number happened to be 0001dwc. I'm no. 1, numero uno, I am the first on the list! There are 199 more people on this list after me. So now I am scheduled for March 27,2009 for the liver biopsy.
I got a call from the office telling me that the pharm. company is anxious to get everyone started and to have me move my biopsy up 2 weeks. It is a week before and my anxiety is kicking in high gear knowing in 2 days after the biopsy I'd be starting the interferon and the side effects would be attacking me 1 or 2 days after my injection.
A week before the scheduled biopsy I get a message on my cell phone that they had over enrolled and that I was being dropped from the study! I was totally freaked out and hysterical as soon as I got off the phone….
Thanks for stopping by and until next time….I stand still on the still waters. Diane
