Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey just want to let the group know that I go in for first round of infusions on Thur. Sept 3. They say I will be in hospital 6-8 hrs. First all the tests that we have all come to love, PFT, 6 min walk, DLCO, echo, blood work, urine (steriods?ha ha),questionnaires. The infusion will take 90 minutes. It will be one of 4 groups ; Placebo; CNTO 888, 1mg; 5mg; 15mg. Starting to feel a bit apprehensive. My wife is behind me all the way, thank God, but she wonders if I am doing the right thing. I say we have to find a way to stop this thing and experimentation is the only way. I am very fortunate that I am still healthy enough to be able to do this and I plan on doing everything with the biggest smile and the heartiest laugh that i can muster. I have always been an upbeat sort of guy and this damn thing has a fight on its hands. If I make 1 person laugh when I'm there that means I've already won the battle, the war will take a day or two longer. Anyways guys, I've rambled enough, every body hang tough we shall persevere.
