Guest guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Dear Lottie, Thank you for giving me a smile!!! I wondered the same thing as to why they needed me to cart those empty containers through security at airports and the hassle of taking up space in my already stuffed suitcases. I like your response the them. That is so funny. Your sense of humor never ceases to amuse me. Have a great day, even though you have some struggles to deal with. Merry Christmas, Jackie S.

It's been a long wait for you, too. I still remember the first time I saw you, standing in the waiting room of the leukemia department. You brought us to your apartment once to show us how nice it was. I think you must have stayed in several apartments, just as we did. I remember waiting for the shuttle bus and wondered why I needed to carry a bunch of empty bottles, so I left them in the garbage. The research nurse was in shock when I told her I didn't have them. She wanted me to go back to the apartment to get them. I told her the garbage had already been picked up. She said, " What will I tell Bristol Myers? " I said, " You'll think of something. " No one ever mentioned it again. I haven't figured out a real good reason why they need the empty bottles, are they suddenly going green?

I think that is how the drug company proves/gets credit for providing the free drug and shows how much drug has been tested, etc. Also, that you are not out their re-selling the drug! I would not be surprised if it wasn't an FDA requirement. About the interferon....I was only on it for 3 lousy months and I was off it as much as I was on it (part of triple therapy). I don't think it revved up my immune system any. I am sorry to hear about your son ill and suffering. I hope the New Year brings good health to you and all your family. Merry Christmas to you, C.
