20th shot tonight

[hondapatches]

Sorry haven't been around, I have been sick for two weeks now. Went to the Dr. they gave me antibiotics, but they failed to take an xray. Come to find out Monday they took an xray and I have pneumonia. I have been home all week. Now I get to take my shot tonight and I hope it don't wipe out my immune system to bad. Dr. had to put my ribo back down to 400 until I get well. Well I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. I hope you all are doing well, God bless us all through our journey.

I hope you get better soon - very sorry that you got pneumonia.  Amazingly - taking an x-ray may be an item we need to remind the dr's to do.  If we  get the pneumonia vaccine before tx would it prevent us from getting it during tx?  I'm getting a pneumonia vaccine next week.

Take care - I wish you the very best.

I just hate to hear that you have  been so sick, patches. Pneumonia is nothing to treat lightly.  I hope this gets resolved.  Like others i am wondering what your white blood count and absolute neutrophils are.  

And I can't remember now, are you eligible for the 24 weeks?  I know you are based on your 4 week results, but I can't remember what stage your liver is.  I hope it is short treatment and you will be done soon.

Dang!  Pneumonia can create all kinds of problems so be sure and take care of yourself so it goes away fast.

So sorry to hear about the pneumonia, I have noticed several people getting this while on tx, I just had a bacterial infection which has really made me afraid.
I wish you all the best

Thinking of you

[leebambee]

Feel better and rest up. I know the doctors recommend that we stay away from sick people because of low WBC. Have some chicken soup.

Hi patches.  I am sorry to hear you are not well.  You are in my prayers.   Take care of yourself and heal.

[pcds]

sorry to hear you're sick.  Are you taking a full shot tonight?  Have you needed neupogin? Hope you feel better soon.

Is your WBC really low?  I know this treatment makes us prone to infections like lung infections, is it because it knocks our WBC out of wack?  Hope you get better quickly now that they know whats up...
