KEEP FIGHTING! You are worth it


 That is great news!

Yes, 48 weeks is rough but you will get stronger each day that goes by.

I am going for 6 month EOT test in September, hoping I can share the same news also, have been UND so far.

Be glad knowing you kicked HepC butt!smile

Well, some will say it was the drugs and 48 weeks. Getting to know you here; I'd say it's the spirit, heart and compassion that is just now showing up. I'm not doing a 3 month check instead waiting for 6 month check.

Pry all you want! I received so much hope and 

support from this forum. We are here to ask any questions!

My eyes started burning the last month on 

treatment really bad. They eventually improved and have started bothering me again.

It may or may not be related to side effect Of tx.

What matters most is saving our liver.

my husband thinks I am doing really good.

I feel so much better--improving daily.

my endurance is so much better:)

Great news JoAnne!

I'm really curious to know how you're feeling after 48 weeks. 

I don't mean to pry but have most of your side effects gone away?

I sincerely wish you all the best!

Thank you EVERYONE!
Yes I am smiling!!
Still seems surreal after
11 months on treatment.
I have last test in Oct
But as Biggy mentioned
Getting pass 3 month post
Is HUGE. Going to celebrate
This and get my body back in shape.
Getting strong is my new goal.
Took 3 months to feel like exercising.

Bike riding and swimming...WOW
I FEEL BETTER THAN WHEN I STARTED!
I am getting better every day still
Napping and memory recall is etchy
At times..... I have had Hep C so many years
It will be exciting to see how it is without it.
Malcolm mentioned before that treatment
Could reverse damage some even those of
Us with cirrosis! Thank you all again:)
