So I'm going to pick up my report on my MRI today. I'll post it here and hope someone here might be able to help me figure it out if possible. I e-mailed one of the contacts for the Freedom/Prodisc Clinical trial and they said I am not a candidate due on the fact of where I live of course, but they would let my interest be known. They will be opening other sites throughout the year for the clinical trial. They just have the two right now.
I hope they open up on withint 150-200 miles (their maximum radius), but I doubt it. That's just my luck. I just will have to fight the insurance for this, I'm sure. But I keep getting ahead of myself, I need to wait and see what the Dr says Monday. It's not that far away now.
