RE: What are the chances my husband will relapse?

Hi all - I am a few weeks shy of 12 weeks post treatment and I am feeling anxious as well. Waiting is driving me crazy. I just have to take it one day at a time. Energy level is increasing and I have started to exercise again. After a year of treatment, it feels great to feel somewhat normal. Wishing everyone well.

Carol,
Treatment sure is a waiting game!
I have been focused on a day at a time.
I accepted the fact that its a lot of waiting
As my 6 month EOT blood work us Oct 15th,
I find myself anxious. I keep reminding myself
To stay in the day.
Looks that you and your husband will have
Good news soon.
Hope he is starting to feel a bit better!

Hi Carol, yes I agree with Malcolm, with your husband being Gen 2 and having responded so well to treatment, I don`t think you have anything to worry about!  It will be great for you both to have it officially confirmed though and I look forward to hearing good news!  smile

Hi Carol,

In my humble opinion, chances of hubby relapsing are close to zero.  Relax, you've done a great job looking after him.  Cheers.

If my husband was undetectable at 4 and 12 weeks, what are the chances he could relapse at 1.5 weeks after his EOT?  He gets tested tomorrow, and I am feeling a bit nervous.

 

Thanks,

Carol
