interferon shot schedule for monday will be put off till thursday ?
hey folks hope all are well...trial nurse just called to reschedule my 18 week pcr test scheduled for this Monday to Thursday... and to inform me that at present [may be resolved by monday} there seems to be a shortage of interferon for trial participants..... lovely.......i asked her if putting of this injection for two days would possibly affect my "status"..she assured me that at this stage of tox and still undetectable.. it would not be that critical....to be a few days late..hmmmmm hate like hell to risk the game now on a few days delay... any opinions advice folks ? tia
hey folks ended up getting it wed evening after numerous requests/calls.........the overlapping freight train effect with my monday shot was interesting..;)..added a whole new dimension to this "thing" but bottom line..... just got my 18 week pcr....undetectable 4 to go......yahooooooo double heel click ;) sorry just a lil excited is me ;)
hope all are well enjoying this slice of a day

I think you should be okay. I don't think that they would compromise the trial, there is much to much involved for them to mess it up.
The shot has a longer half life than 7 days, especially if you are on Pegasys. I can't remember how many days, but you should have enough Peg in your body to keep the level up.
Also since you are on a PI on top of this. I would say not to worry.

thnx for the reply...shot 18 Monday night... then .6 to go...yup i agree would always look back and "what if" my self to death....think i'll be less than friendly and tell her I'd like some to be "found" by Monday..have a slice of a weekend
What week are you at? I don't like it but if it's very late Wolf I guess there is no choice really. Now if you don't get SVR you are always going to think it was that one late shot - that would really bug me!!!! Tell her to pick one of the other patients to not give the shot to but you insist on getting it!
