NEXT SCHEDULED START DATE

I went to my doctors office today to have my pre-labs re-drawn as it has been to long since the last time they drew them. They scheduled me to start on May 31st. They said that due to the revisions they were waiting for the protocol to be done being reviewed by an IRB. The IRB is a group of people that are in charge looking over the paperwork. The don't work for the drug company or the doctors office and they have to say that everything is in order and the doctors office and drug company are looking out for the best interest of the patients. They were to have a reading and discussion on this yesterday, so as long as they like it my start date will be a go. If they don't like it the start date could be postponed again. I see that Denise and Terri both got Arm 1. I wonder what is in store for me. Part of me thinks that because the study has additional arms in my doctors office I will be more likely to get one of them. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

OK, May 31st, that's less than 2 weeks away, you can do this (handle the wait) - this frees you up for Memorial Day Weekend - won't have to worry about possible side effects then.
Hang in there, the waiting is the worst part, soon it will be over for you.
