Afterwords

I've just finished a one year (48 weeks) treatment. What should I expect? How long does the medicine take to leave my body? When will I be 100%?

I can only comment that after 24 weeks mono-therapy years ago, it took me a couple of months - the relief of stopping the meds however, was immediate.
Be extra nice to yourself a little longer - you deserve it - well done on completing the 48 weeks - you are on my hero list :-)
