new patient

[belle19]

i just started on a clinical trial yesterday.  so far i haven't had any symptons.  i've heard that weeks into this i'll start feeling down.  i also heard about hair loss.  has anyone used ovation cell therapy hair products with any success?  i'm new with this and very unsure of what to expect.  :(  i don't want to be a drag for my family either.

i'm involved in phase 2b, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.the sponsor is gilead sciences, inc.  i'm being treated at scripp's research center in la jolla.  i am excited but also nervous like you.  i have a great study nurse.  i'm also going to be going to the green hospital on the 1st wednesday of every month for a hep c support group.  they have different speakers each time.  next month will be my first time.  if you're interested it's on the 2nd floor at 6:00.

thanks for your response and keep in touch.
