Private Nursing Services Arranged...YIPEE

Great news, within only 2 weeks of filling out the Enrollment Forms, I was set up with a wonderful Nurse who comes to my home to give me my Sandostatin injections...all FREE of charge thanks to Access Sandostatin. The program also involves follow-up phone calls, assessments and replacement drugs if the nurse should happen to damage the vial.
Another great thing about this program is I will have the pleasure of having the same nurse administer my Sando. These nurses have had intense training on properly administering the drug.
I, along with my family, are so thankful for this wonderful service. I've been spreading the news...local pharmacy, family doctor ....

Hi again Julie.
A receives his injections via a fabulous private nurse through Access Sandostatin. This program has been one of the gifts of the process for us, as A is still a highschool student and determined to miss as little as possible.

Hi Patti,

That is really great to read as I was unaware of the program in the past. I am really enjoying receiving my injections at home and knowing I have the same nurse is even better.
My daughter is 2 months old tomorrow. I can't believe it. I have been feeling great and know that I can enjoy this maternity leave much better than when my son was born 7 years ago before I was diagnosed with Acromegaly. What a difference a diagnosis can make.

Take care,
Julie
