I have been in three clinical trials since 2009. I wouldn't be here today without them. This last one, while the side effects are very unpleasant, I can still work full time, but from home. That means I can pay for my sons colleges and enjoy time with my spouse. Clinical trails allow me access to cutting edge medicine and have prolonged my life.
We are really glad to hear that!!
I have not qualified for numerous clinical trials do to "co-morbidities". Always being told that "I was not good for the trial". Recently it was explained to me that a trial drug would "not be good for me". Wow, That simple switch of words meant the world to me. Thank you Dr. Estrov.
