Finally after 2 years...
It seems like I finally have this damn disease under control. Three really good bloodcounts. And even with decreasing the dose of interferon to reduce side effects, the numbers are good. Thank goodness. So it seems the Mayo doctor really does know his stuff..Who knew..;)

11. Why are you picking on Dr. Strange?
You are detracting from the zany antics that are supposed to take place in the Lounge.

Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 04:03 PM by DeepBlueC
I'm glad you are doing well on the interferon. Does that mean that you don't have to fight with your insurance company for access anymore? Anyway, that news must be a great relief. :hi:

10. Not for a year...
My script is good for a year. Matter of fact Mayo called me the other day even though I still have half my doses left but have my next months script scheduled for delivery...:)

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes..:)

I only have to go once a year..I've never been to Arizona, so maybe I'll do some sightseeing when I go next year..Plus, if I can schedule it during winter, it will be a nice break...Otherwise I stay in contact through email/faxes

33. Yeah they are.
I like my local hem just fine, but the best decision I ever made healthwise was to go to Mayo, even if it costs me a pretty penny to travel there. My local doc was skeptical of this treatment for a long time..He is now convinced.:)

30. Great to hear!
Isn't competent medical care a great thing? Good luck and get stronger. The Nats might need a first baseman soon.
