Hi everyone,
We still can’t say for sure if Kathryn will qualify into the study.
We took Kathryn back to The Center for Clinical Research in NC on November 4th for the Neridronate study screening. Two days ago study workers called to let us know that she is 1 point too low on vitamin D to qualify, so they started Kathryn on supplements and we will return to NC on November 23rd to let them draw another tube of blood. No the study will not allow it to be done locally, believe me I begged… Uummph!!
We HATE putting Kathryn through the terribly painful travel for unsure results! When we were in NC we heard that the US results with Neridronate are looking considerably less exciting than the original reports from Italy. And, with the study qualifiers being so strict, the number of people tested so far is much lower than I imagined.
If Kathryn can still qualify, her IVs will be delayed to mid-December with a follow-up right before Christmas; December will be VERY BUSY!
None the less and more than ever, we continue to ask God that if it is His will, Kathryn will qualify and receive 4 IVs of Neridronate, NO PLACEBOs!!
Our love and blessings to you all!
