past the first hurdle

Hub finished triple therapy with Incivek in last week of July.  He just got his three month blood work - no virus detected!   Thank the Lord!  Hard to believe it might actually be true.  Haven't been here for a while - we both got really down after treatment.  Then I was having mega computer problems.

Just could not believe treatment might work.  He's feeling really good, has lot of energy, We're praying to clear the final hurdle in another three months.  Hope you are all hanging in there, and still doing all of the uplifting and encouraging work you do to help others through a very difficult medical treatment.  Appreciate it more than I can say.

Thanks everyone!  Can-do-man, I didn't know the odds were so high in his favor.  That is wonderful news. Donnie54, it was a difficult time but as everyone here told me from the beginning, treat the side effects right away - don't let them get a foothold.  He was almost removed from treatment the first week because he broke out in a virulent rash, but it calmed down.  the biggest problem for him were the emotional/mental aspects.  By the time he was finished he was on three drugs for anti-anxiety and depression.  Still, he did well all things considered.  Never missed a dose, was always able to take in the 20 grams of fat.  He stayed on b12 and folic acid  throughout treatment and his blood levels dropped but not critically.  I wish you the very best as you start treatment.  Thanks Jules and pooh - you all are the best!
