Rendi~
Keeping fingers crossed and praying that you get through the rest of the screening and can start the drug next week.
I'm going to Nashville (from Atlanta) to screen on August 3rd. After that I'll have to have a CT and repeat an echo, and God willing will start drug on August 10th.
Please keep us posted and know that you have family of friends here cheering you on~

All my best thoughts and wishes for both Rendi and Jessica to pass the screening and start the drug within the next 2 weeks.

Yay, Rendi! So happy for you.
I just went through my screening on Tuesday, signed the consent form but still have a CT & an echo to get through today. So holding my breath that those results fit the criteria.Until I hear for sure, I'm just holding my breath and not getting excited.

I am thrilled for you, Rendi.
May this drug knock this disease back out into oblivion.

Keeping the Faith~
