A Few Updates

Here is the latest news.  Some good...some not so much.

Update: November 4, 2012

Thanks to the good work from a representative at Pegassist the funding request they sent into the Trillium Drug Program for coverage of the acromegaly treatment drug has come through.  Yea!

Update: November 6, 2012

Yesterday late afternoon I was informed that my continued coverage for the HCV triple treatment drugs has now also been 'rejected'.  I am 34 weeks into the treatment and this is devastating news to receive at this point in the process. 

I have spoken with the 3 parties involved and I am presently waiting to hear where the problem lays.  Without this coverage I may be forced to stop mid-treatment. As it turns out my body has accepted the treatment quite well up to this point.  To have to stop due to lack of funding at this point in the treatment is beyond sad and frustrating.

Anyone reading this who believes in pray - I welcome your prayers for the funding to come through so I can complete the final 14 weeks. 

*Funding for the HCV treatment is separate from the funding for the acromegaly treatment.

Respectfully,

Deborah
