Update

[Guest guest]

Hey Everybody ~~ I have not been able to keep up with messages or be active lately and I have missed that. I had to delete alot of messages but now that the inbox is cleaned out hopefully I can keep up again. I have an update on my tx. The Hepatologist is going to stop my tx at 24 weeks (on June 11th). They have reviewed my case and some new studies and with my set of particulars they feel that the 24 weeks will be okay. I am undectable. Although I have not had too good a time with physical side effects, I have had it

so much easier than many others that I read about here and hear about from doc. They have not been pleasant and I have been having to do regular Procrit shots for red blood cell generation. Anyway, what is more of an issue for me is the mental side effects. Due to medical reasons I am unable to take antidepressants. This has made tx hard for me mentally. I do have Bi-Polar disorder and I know that this interacts with tx. My only concern about stopping is relapsing. But, I have a great medical team and I trust them. I also believe strongly in the power of prayer and there are so many who are praying for me that I am looking for a sustained response. Thanks for continuing to be here and be supportive for me and so many folks. You guys have saved me in so many ways. Love ya, P.S. My log in is for two reasons....my former last name was "Best" and a friend nicknamed me best of marys when that was my last name. the 57 part...it was a good year to be born! I gave myself the gift of tx for my 50th birthday.
