Ocrevus scheduled

The infusion center called today and we scheduled my next Ocrevus infusion for September.

I figured that Covid is going to be around for a while so I didn't want to refuse the treatment; want to stay on track!

You figured right - I shouldn't have cancelled mine for fear in July, and now I can't get an appointment.

So sorry you can't get an appointment now IFwczs Can they put you on a cancelation list?

Unbelievable but true - they don't have a cancellation list. When I said I was willing to wait till next year, they came up with other infusion centers I can go to. I thought this was the only one.

Amazing how they suddenly come up with other options. Glad there is another location you can go to have your infusion.

Same here, but I switched to a small private infusion center rather than Mayo Hospital (which treats COVID patients). My insurance covers both.

My next infusion is coming up at the end of this month. I differ all my care to my neuro, so if they say 'no go', then I will not go. Keep Smiling, Boxofchocolates :-D

My 1st Infusion is on the 17th at a MS Center. Hopefully nothing will change it before then. it definitely is a little scary with all this Covid stuff.
