How much did you tell your kids? I just told mine I need to take Tx for a liver Dx. I didn't want to get into the: how I got it, Does he have it, will he inadvertantly tell someone scenarios. I didn't want to give my 14 year old ammunition. How did you guys approach it all? and how did the kids take it, what was their response?
Thanks for the kind words...I guess I felt from the beginning (after the initial shock) that I owed it to the people I love to take care of this. I didn't put too much thought into it other than that. I didn't really think about the sx's. (I am now...)I knew I had a little money saved. Now I don't. It's just money. This entire experience has shown me what's important in life. Don't get me wrong- I'm using Commitment to Care and Quest has a program where they'll discount your lab cost (if you ask)...I just want to be around long enough to see grandbabies and for my children to know that I did everything I could to see them grow up...Thanks again for all your help and support. This board has been a lifeline for me. tracy
Tator says....Cando... Jacket Fitting at 1 p.m SHARP!!!
Yeah like they haven't tried that before. I might be crazy, well really i have a card to prove it. But anywhy they haven't caught me yet. Heck once i even went streaking just to get away from them. Scared the little old ladys, and a lot of people were giggleing and laughing, but they didn't get me. So ha ha to you my favorite snack food.
Tracy, your the one with courage, spending all of that money. You made me feel quilty for crying just having to pay co-pays. Now i pay it and smile and tell them thank you.
Best to both of you.

Thanks you guys. I know i don't know any of you but i feel like we're all going through this together you know? thanks again. tracy
Did everyone notice that after last week being a bummer with our buds having set backs this week has started off pretty good with the news. Let hope it continues for say around 100,000 years. Yeah Angie
said regrets, i have a few. just told my 14 year old yesterday.
Dont we all! I told my kids right away because I knew they'd know something was up and at 15 and 17 they could handle it but...telling your child WHEN you've reached UND sounds like a GREAT thing and I wish I had been able to do that.
As long as we are honest with them, you know kids they alwaYs pick up that something is wrong, I TRULY believe that telling the truth is better than trying to hide something from them. That is just impossible and then they get REALLY worried because surely if you aren't telling them something it must be BIG and BAD and SCARY.
I've got regrets too - hopefully this will help my kids from making some of the same mistakes...in their futures. If it can be used to teach them a life lesson and keep them from those "mistakes of the 80s LOL" then I'd rather have contracted it than them get it someday...you know?

Congratulations! That is fantastic news. I love to hear all of the undetectables! Good luck as you continue on your treatment journey.
Congratulations at your results! Quick share that makeup with your daughter now, who said you can get hep c from makeup?
My neutrophils and WCC are still in range but sliding down to the lower end of the scale (and that was in the first 2 weeks) so I am taking an immune stimulant astragalus, shall see if its doing any good at the 4 week check up next week and I'll let you guys know.

Thank you sooo much for your kind words. I'm still trying to get all the numbers straight so your knowledge helps me alot. My dr.'s really cool and seems to do mostly hepc patients. He let me skip a few pregnancy tests and only charges me $50- $80 a visit depending on if i see him or his np. Most of the expense for me has been prior to the start of treatment. Wasn't sure what was wrong with me in the beginning so they ran all kinds of tests...but. I have to live with my past and i guess this is part of it. regrets, i have a few. just told my 14 year old yesterday. i didn't want to worry him. now i just don't want to lie to him...
Again, thank you and best of everything. tracy

Yes. I've had weekly cbc's etc. for the last 4 weeks in a row. Thought i'd get to go a month without one but dr. wants one in 2 weeks. I'm sort of new to this, so just so i'm translating correctly, .5=500 Is that right? so my 1071 is really 1.071? and they let you go to .5 before treating? thanks and best of luck to you. tracy
Wow yat 1.7 ou certainly dont have to worry about your whites. Mine is about .9 and I'm not really concerned...but watching. They wont give me another drug till it's under .5 and maybe then just let it go to hope it goes back up.
Believe me as one who never believed - these drugs ARE poisonous and CAN greatly affect your body in negative ways. If you don't HAVE to put them in you don't want to. I always thought before no biggie just another shot...I was very sadly wrong about that!
How is your hemo doing? Thats the thing that can devastate you all at once.
I always thought it a major pain having to go every week but until I had the anemia and then they got it stabilized and FINALLY back up at 11...I now understand why. Once you've had a really drastic drop like some of us have - you don't mind the CBCs at all.
Make it a game and compare print outs each week you get them done and see if you win a prize or something :)
I finally went to monthly at week 20 - LOL. But it's good my doctor is a nudge and makes me do things I wouldn't want to. I appreciate him for that.

yes .5= 500 and 1.0 would = 1000 im thinking i read that Dale Ray was down to.3 before they started him on rescue drugs..I was really enjoying my weekly cbc i just felt good knowing everything was going good because belive me i could think myself into a big ole funk esp. about being anemic and having a heart attack it was just nice to know i wasnt anemic and doing o.k .Now my doc just told me i was leveling out and only needed monthly cbc...oh man didnt like that news but i guess that means im getting better.
AHHHHRRIGGGGGGGGGGHT!!!
That is beautiful news......Tell each of your 5 kids you want 3 million hugs. Then tell em you've got riba induced brain fog so you don't remember how many they gave you and you want 3mil more from each. Should hold ya.
So really you can tell us...what'd ya do with all them for 12 weeks-tie em up and duct tape mouths, I'm about to do that with 1.
Stay Well, Enjoy the blessings,
don

Thanks for all the info guys. Helpful as ever...Good luck to you goldyn and you too nygirl. You're quite the trooper.
Strator- Hi! I hope everything is going well with you. I just wanted to say hello and let ya know i think about ya. Love your advice on the 3 million hugs btw. Always good to read your mind...take care. tracy

my two youngest ones will give it a good shot with all those hugs my older three would give me a kiss on the cheek and tell me to get over it .... when i told my 18yrold daughter she said all right now i can share your makeup, it brought a tear to my eye because she always wants to share makeup and earrings and for the last 3yrs since i found out i had hcv all sharing stopped,..its those little things this stupid virus takes away from us...that makes us strive even more for svr.
Hey girl, your hgb at 12 is great. Is your Doctor giving you a break on these labs cost since you have no insurance? I bet your business will be a great success. Since you have the will to pay out of pocket on all those test you had. Best of luck to ya.
AH thank GOD for the miracle of antidepressants! I wish to GOD I had taken them for YEARS before I started taking them now!
Mothers magic pill......who needs valium not me this stuff is like gold(yn) ;)
Why I've found that I now actually CARE when my kids are eating dirt! (NO I'm teasing they are 15 & 17 well past that stage LOL just realized wow better not make too much fun that's the kind of statement these days that gets you locked up!)
Ah but that padded room and a couple Paxills washed down with a few Ambiens and you know what...this disease isn't that bad a place is it?
As long as I have my ice cream that is.

Can Said...."BTW us kids were behaving a little better today".....
yeah right...when we were kids Dad would come home, ask what trouble we caused and we'd say we behaved, he'd think a minute then say "Awright the 1/2 dozen of yas, down here right now and Line up. Now somebody better tell me what REALLY happened today!"
Glad to see you poppin around here lots when you can Can. Hope you're feeling as good as you make us feel. Laughed all the way to bed last night after reading all the goings on yesterday. Course that's not the first time I've heard laughter in bed.
