I am at the finish line

Just finished treatment and within 24 hours I feel so much better. I went through a day without feeling like I needed to crawl into bed with my aches and pains. It is a wonderful feeling crossing the finish line. Results will be back in 7 days.
Good luck to all and dont give up. Stay on this forum for advice on side effects. I couldnt of done it without the advise of others going through it. I swear everyone out their knows more then the Docs. Not their fault, we're living it, not them.

For those completing 3X therapy on either of the new drugs, consider the fact we are the pioneers to go through treatment in the general popluation.  There is always something learned after the drug is approved and it will be interesting to see if someone is collecting additional data.

Congrats on completing!  I am 3 weeks from completion (Vic), anemic and feeling like crap and encouraged by your notes.

Congratulations!  I too have finished Tx. I can't believe how much better I feel in just 4 days. I almost went surfing this morning.  I think I'll give it a week before I start too much physical activity..but to even consider it is WONDERFUL!!!!!
All of you hang in there it gets better...don't give up...

I had been a gargoyle for most of the tx and now that it is over I am expected to find a super cape and catch up with every thing over night.  I need to lick my wounds.  I am so depleted.  All that is left is hope.  

I am happy to see others are able to welcome their EOT fiercely!  I am 61 and am grateful to be DUN and UND.  haha
