Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 We that had tried tx's and in later stages know understand how serious how toxic to everyone and a body all organs systems it is to everyone. Some more than others and can be lethal. We are not against HCV tx meds. It is the simple fact it is the only tx available to us still the same as the original forms changed slightly for longer time released forms. It is very toxic and the best positive attitudes can not change those facts or the many forced sides complications some severe for some from it. Cancer pt's know understand toxic tx yes going to be very rough on me and my body but I will do my best and pray for the best. That is doing my best. For a dx of HCV and for tx our general mind set thinking is I know tx will work on me. I know I can control handle it myself and without medical care or reporting to my Dr's or taking the pre tx rx's. I can control the sides complications because I'm so positive about it and I will clear even before the person starts on tx or fully understands it all or allows themselves to understand and comprehend it all for them individually as the pt including their own set of risk factors. Why ???? Why does a dx of HCV and tx meds still holds many stigmas for us and that we are stronger than the tx meds and unwilling to discuss it all with our treating Dr's or accept the medical help they can provide to us. Is it fear of HCV liver disease progressions is it fear of being weaker than our HCV and tx meds is it fear of Dr's thinking we are too weak for tx is it fear accepting the stats %'s of non-responders to tx is it fear in accepting the truths and reality ???? How can we become HCV and tx survivors living in fear and denial. How can medical care and tx's improve if we are in denial of it and not voice our experiences or support of others. There is power thruth strength advocacy help support betterment in the masses and for us all. People this is in general a general discussion no need to take it personally or become insulted by it. That is in a negative way closing the mind to it all. How can we overcome our fears learn be stronger from it if we hide from it. Discussions are open minded respectful 2 way streets. If we can not discuss it here in group than where ??? Our minds brains racked with HCV and tx meds use it or lose it. As Child would say - Save The Livers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All The Best To Everyone. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
