Screening appointment for HCV-796 on Friday the 13th

Trial nurse asked if I was superstitious kinda jokingly but I told her to make the appointment. Now I am thinking I will change it to a spot she had open on Monday. I want all the good juju flowing freely from start to finish on this ride. Have gone over all the consent paperwork and will sign it at the screening.

If I get through, she has me pencilled in to start treatment on May 2. Have a 50/50 chance of getting the 796.  FYI, nurse mentioned she's heard something about additional openings for non responders in May or June.

Sounds good! I hope everything works out well. BTW, my last three digits of my cell are......666!

I love Friday the 13th, in fact I started tx on Friday the 13th, and it really has not been bad. Maybe the date ????? Good luck!

Better on an electric bill than on your forehead!

Yup. I am rolling. And I agree, I really would feel uncomfortable starting tx but this first step will be fine.
