Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Harriett You like my husband is nervous about getting off the treatment also since it has helped his liver and he is in remission. He wants to feel better and not sick from the sides but he is scared that he will be a nonresponder and have to start all over again. We knew when he started the combo that that was a posibility so I am hoping when the day comes and the doctor says he can get off of the combo he will see how much better he feels and be glad of the fact. Once you feel better you will find all sorts of things to do. Hang in there and stay positive. Wishing you the best. Winne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hi Judi...I'm sure hoping your appointment went well...I imagine by the time you get this it will have happened. My folks saw the Ballet when they were in Mexico, and were just thrilled by it. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to see it and that you enjoyed it. Hugs, Kiddo...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi All, My 5 year old daughter Leah is going to have her first operation on Feb. 5, and I am getting jittery. I worry Leah will see that I am scared, and that it will get her wound up as well. I remember these operations when I was a kid, and I really did not like them. In any case, I will drop a note to the board when the operation is complete, to tell you all how it went. My best to everyone, Micah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Brrrrrr Girl!! God I love the South! Little rain for a couple of days but temp is tolerable. 50-60 F. My tomato plants should start taking off any time now! Your post was a welcome site this evening! I've been wondering if there's someone who can share the other side of this warped reality! My hubby and I rarely speak of anthing any more, let alone the Hep C thing! He goes to appts with me, pays the bills, makes things as tolerable as possible but I truly have no idea what this is really doing to him. I think he's just now coming out of the denial phase. (He's a slow study!) And I have no clue how my kids are dealing with all this. I'm keeping info to a minimum at the moment but kids are darn near psychic! I'm trying to wait until I fully understand where my little body is in all this. And, God knows teenagers have enough to deal with! LOL! Hell, I can't even sort out my own feelings from one day to the next. I haven't found my feet in all this. I guess I just want my peeps to be happy, healthy, and save their worries for something else. I'll worry enough for everyone! I guess I said all that because we should be able to talk with our significant others! This is just so far out of my realm of experience that some days I feel about as worthless and out of the loop as I've ever been. Who wants to talk about that? It would be so nice to have a conversation without the stupid dragon sitting there the whole time! And forget about sex! He either thinks he'll break me or Hep C makes you horribly unattractive. Can't even ask that question 'cause I don't want to make him feel worse! Hubby is 16 years olders than I am so I'm not sure what's normal and what's related to my having this virus. Probably a little of both.! Anyway, enough of that for now. Just wanted you to know that none of us know what to say! Except Don and he's been practicing. LOL! We gotta stop beating ourselves up and just breath and feel the love. We're not jerks, we all have a reason to be anxious and I'm saying this as if I know what I'm talking about. LOL! Your post just struck a chord in me and I feel a little less alone this evening. Hang in there girl! Call a girlfriend and go to lunch! Enjoy time with people outside the fam 'cause you can leave the dragon at home and forget about it! I get to talk as if nothing is wrong and I have another 50 years of healthy living! Lucky for us, friends are more clueless than we are so they REALLY don't want to talk about it! LOL! I have high hopes we will find ourselves again, evolution didn't happen over night! Gotta go! Temp just lowered to 52, gotta turn the logs on so I don't freeze! Hot chocolate tonight! LOL!!! Have a great evening and we'll get Don to blast some of that good stuff he's always talking about! God's Peace! From: dellcar9@...Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 14:11:14 +0000Subject: [ ] nervous Hi, First I want to say that it was good to read that Donna was doing ok with treatment and still working. I have been very scared of treatment for my husband. I think that the people who post the most are those that have a hard time with treatment so it all becomes a bit lopsided. I would love to hear from others that have not had major problems too.We are going to the Hep doctor on Friday and I am incredibly anxious. I have to hide my feelings from my husband, I don't want him to know how scared I am of him having to do the treatment. I have a hard time with anxiety and have, as my daughter says , self isolated, just going to these appointments with him has been hard. I feel like such a jerk to have these issues when it is he that has to deal with the virus. I wish that he would ask questions and advocate for himself but it doesn't seem to be in him so I do it. I guess it bothers me because I don't want to make the decisions for him, he has to make them but if I hadn't questioned the first doc we saw he would have gone blindly along with the guy. I don't know if I am making sense here just don't know how to walk the line in this.Don I am so jealous that you have had warm days, it has been running ten degrees below normal here and I still have a bunch of snow in the yard.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi, I know exactly what you're going through, because last year at this time, my husband was getting ready to start treatment after learning that his liver had gone from stage 0 to stage 2 since his last liver biopsy. He tends to take things in stride, but I'm an anxious person, and I'm the one who does the reading and research. I wsa pretty petrified about the whole thing. However, I've found this group to be wonderfully informative and supportive, and would like to give special thanks to Don, Teri and Gloria, particularly, who seem like amazing, caring, wonderful people. My husband has 12 more shots to go, and we're looking forward to the end. However, it has not been terrible. He has not missed any work due to his treatment, though fortunately he has a desk job so he doesn't have to exert himself too much. He's pretty tired most of the time, he takes Prilosec every day to help with his stomach, he's itchy, and he had a bit of a scare with some eye trouble which the doctor keeps a close watch on. Obviously, it hasn't been a pleasant experience, but it hasn't been unbearable either. He's dealt with it quite well, and life has gone on. We've shared the information about his treatment with only a few close friends and family members, and no-one else has noticed anything that they've mentioned. Keep asking questions of the doctors until you're satisfied with the answers. As long as you're " nice " about it, your husband will get better care, I believe. It's pays to speak up. Once my husband finishes the treatment in June, we'll be holding our breath to see if he's cured. We're definitely hoping for the best! Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions or need support. Most likely, your husband will do fine and you'll both get through with minimum trauma. Take care! > > Hi, First I want to say that it was good to read that Donna was doing ok with treatment and still working. I have been very scared of treatment for my husband.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thank you, yes my husband is laid back also and I am the anxious one. My husbands biopsy put him at a stage two and the doctors say this is the time for treatment to avoid any more damage. We will know this week if he can get into a trial or not. I appreciate you sharing it really does help. I checked other groups online and really liked this one. The people here really seem to care and they are realistic. My husband is a mailman, he has accrued a lot of sick time in case he needs it. Did your fear and anxiety calm down after he started? > > > > Hi, First I want to say that it was good to read that Donna was doing ok with treatment and still working.
