yes my new job is in same feild thank god just closer to home thanks for ur support bless you
Welcome! I began a new job shortly after starting treatment, so I'm here to tell you, it can be done. I wrote down EVERYTHING they told me when I was learning the new job, because my brain was mush. Well, it still is mush...
Is your new job in the same field that you were in? Mine is in a completely different field, so there was a lot to learn. It is do-able. Just make sure to get plenty of rest.

Genotype 2 is more responsive to treatment than 1. You caught a huge break there. i have a feeling you will do fine on treatment. Good luck.
Donna,
I too was genotype 2...I say was but I just finished treatment 3 months back I also was stage 2-3 Fibrosis 2-3. Anyway I worked the whole time except there was 4 hours about month 5 that I just could not do it and went home and slept about 3 1/2 hours. Treatment is doable just put your mind to it and march forward. SOme do have sides and need what is commonly called rescue drugs for White blood counts or Red Blood count issues. They almost pulled me from tx but I made it. Until the year is up I will keep wondering if it has come back. Good luck and keep checking in.

Hi! And welcome to the ride... or funny farm.... LOL. You're starting Tx AND a new job?! Just be warned: this stuff can knock you on your butt. You may think you're tough, but HA! But then again, you could breeze through it with just a few benign Sx. Roll with the punches, don't bite off more than you can chew, eat healthy foods, laugh hard and often, and be kind to yourself. We'll all be here to catch you if you fall!
Just wanted to say welcome too, and Ladybug is to a good speller, but she won't admit it:) ask away...I just figure spell check is too time consuming and is one extra step, and who cares anyway, as long as youre making yourself understood...hope all is well with you, this is a good forum...
I have a hard time spelling too. Even easy words turn into a big mess because I can't type well either.
