We have been hit with the storm of the year in this region
of Ontario, Canada. I think we received
all the snow expected for this winter but in one deposit.
I received word last Thursday that everything has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Trillium Drug Program and
Pegassist. I can expect the triple drug therapy to
arrive at my door this coming Thursday and each 3rd Thursday to follow.
I have been given the option to begin the HCV therapy on
whatever day of the week suits me. Once I have
chosen this ‘start’ day, I need to commit to this day of the week as the
injection day. Monday is the day I have chosen. This will
allow me potential access to the HCV nurse appointed to my case and/or my
doctor should there be a health problem.
Going to the emergency room on a weekend or evening can be a patient’s
worst nightmare here. Also,
seeing health-care professionals who are not familiar with your case can prove
to be challenging for both them and you.
Until next week….
Take care,
Deborah
