Starting TX
So.... tx started for me yesterday, smoothly with no sides annoying enough to mention. I have been spared so far and am immensely thankful for that. Am drinking lots of fluids and chillin' at home...
Geno 3a doing tx for 24 weeks, hopefully
180mcg Pegasys
800 mg Rebetol
I was supplied with enough Peg for 8 weeks and enough Riba for 6 weeks.
Will have first PCR at 4 weeks, the sensitivity of the test they use is 20 iuml.
My doctors and nurses are great!!!! They answer all questions and are positive, friendly and compassionate. I have really been blessed with good fortune, I must say. The nurse said that I could call as many times as I want, better too many times than not enough. Also she said that they are interested in how our tx is coming along, so it's just good to call. Wow, I didn't expect that. Any minor sx, you call and they will just put in the prescription on their net system and one can pick it up at any pharmacy. With any stuff they need to see you, they will want you to either come in to them or see your GP, depending on what it is. So I'm cool.
I just wanted to thank all of you who have been such a support and a well of knowledge that made it possible for me to go into this with so much confidence and preparedness. Love you all.

LOL-they say that about FL,too. But I have never heard it blamed on our clothes!
Marcia-hope you are feeling more normal today.
Apparently shot #4 is the one that makes me wake up at 4am-coincidence or tropical storm???? Tomorrow we'll know for sure!

ROFL....That really was a good one... mind you, I would NEVER EVER say anything anywhere near that about my kids. They are beautiful young adults whom I cherish, respect and love. So far so good with the food, I have no problems eating. Just the morning one is a bit difficult and I'm taking the riba with a banana and coconut oil. Hugs, Marcia

What a great description... This surely is like the Danish weather, which can change from one minute to the other... They have a saying here, that there is nothing wrong with the weather, it's just the clothes you wear. So I guess one has to have ones 'clothes' lined up to be able to take on the weather... We'll see how it goes.
