Countdown to start tx

Mar 23, 2008 09:36AM - 2 comments

Well, I'm only 23 days away until I get my first tx (assuming insurance comes through in time, which is expected).  The bad dreams and sleepless nights have already started.   I'm 26 years old and am going to go through chemo because my mom used heroin as a teenager....it sounds so depressing.  But I am trying to focus on the positives God has everything happen for a reason, so hopefully somewhere in my life I can positivly impact another human being.  Also, I am a geno 3a, which means only 24 weeks of tx.  My VL is under a million, which is good too.  I haven't had a biopsy, I figure no need, since I'm going to treat regardless.  All of the people here, who have posted about their tx experiences, sx or lack of, have really helped me...thank you!

You will do fine! I also am 3a with a low viral load...and after 4 weeks of tx, the hep c is undetectable! it has been neutered and is dying! I've managed to keep a fairly consistent positive attitude (okay, I've had a low point or two so far...) I think the hardest part was making the decision and educating myself, and what I was getting into...The treatment affects everyone differently but, you are female, and young...
And 3as usually respond rapidly...I too think that things happen for a reason...hang in there!

Hey Little Booo,

Life can really suck at times  Most of us have no idea where we contracted our Hep. I know that >More important than how you got it, is how you're going to get rid of it!!! Finding God, and this website are the two greatest finds to fill my needs I've ever found. So, that you found some fellow heppers, to vent to and get hugs from, is a real good indicator, that you'll sail through this, like a Gull floating on an ocean breeze. Golly, ain't I just gol dern poetic?  Ok, I'll knock it off now,  Many hugs, and best of luck to you, Boo  From me, Ant B
