[More] C tx'er/ couch potato thanks to little buggers run amuck in my innards.

likes:
people,animals,gardening,antiquing,ebaying,writing, teaching, encouraging, laughing, beaches, theme parks,stupid Utube animal/people pranks; and yes even barbie dolls, and especially Jesus... so what!

dislikes:
hep c.,  arrogance, clueless or non-quizical doctors/pill pushers who cannot think outside the box (it's supposed to be an inquisitve caring attentive profession), being treated like a leper, steryotyping, paranoid/conspiratorial, and/or snail/slug/stuck types.

Hoping to learn and share, and help others sort things out, as others have done for me.
Praying to kick B on Hep C and play with grandchildren.

To MB, Glad your back in the saddle again. I am curious if since you are TX for 72 wks, and have had these infections if you have been on Neupogen or Procrit.. I am a slow responder, and looking for info on extending TX to share with my GI who will not consider extending myTX because I need Neupogen 3x a week. How have you dealt with this?

Mood: Ryansmom17 Just decided to take a vacation before I start tx. I am heading out to Denver and going to Aspen for a week. Once ll of the tests and Labs are done(next 2 weeks) I will be ready to start tx, so I am going to get a peace of mind and a little break in Aspen far far away in the mountains and watch my son skii. then I can start tx with a clearer more relaxed state if mind! Im too stressed right now, and very overwhelmed! NOT GOOD! Mountains will do the mind a l ot of GOOD! and the BODY TOO!!
