Today was my 12 week bloodwork and I will know maybe Monday if I am still in the trial. Unfortunately the VL is blind. If I am not responding they will pull me from the trial. This just makes me nervous. Say an undie prayer! And to everyone who is at this point of treatment I send an undie prayer your way!

Thanks everyone. I feel that it will all be good. I made it through 4 week so I had to be responding well to the tx. The study has VL requirements at 4 week and 12 week. Non-responders are out. this is the part of being in a blind study that gets nerve wracking. We have had all other blood work results. WBC/RBC/Hemoglobin/ALT/AST etc. Just not the VL. I told them if I don't get a call by Monday mid day I wll start calling them. They just laughed and said they already knew that! Hepatologist was encouraging and you all rock!
@jgolfer This study is with Brystol Meyers Squibb. Phase 2 Interferon* Riba* (Protease Inhibitors are the blind part)1 or 2 or 0

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
