Beta # 1 results

Jessica,
I’m on the phone with a patient for a consultation…otherwise I would call you personally. Sorry to have to tell you the news via email but will reply to your email below. We do have the result of the first beta and it was negative. We really encourage you to go for the second beta. Most of the time, to be honest, the second beta is likewise negative, however we have been surprised several times as the second beta can be positive. We need to be sure, so please go as planned to the lab for the second one. Please also continue your meds.

Again, I apologize for emailing you this news but wanted to reply to your email below promptly.

Take care and we will be talking to you on Friday.
