Good Morning! I hope all is well---We are on our way to SVR

Good morning,

I hope all is feeling well.  Today is shot #2 for me and I hope all goes well, with 22 shots to go.  I just hope my anemia does well.  If any one has info for Iceboy about anemia please let him know.  We don't want him stoping tx, there has to be an answer for him/her that works.  I'm one who never believe's in giving up.  Today is the first day of the rest of our life--let's use it well not just for our self but to help others.  Iceboy has Thalassemia anemia( the same as I ) Andy you have much knowledge, can you help?

This is a very difficult situation from a clinicians point of view as they would be dealing with anemia in it

I have not read anything that makes any type of correlation between genotype and how tx is handled. They are all hep c virus and the genotypes are subspecies of that one virus. The meds are affecting your body the same.

goof; you crossed the finish line? and out of breath?
here is to a much speedy recovery AND svr, of course.

You know when I set up the offer with my daughter at Xmas, I just figured it wouldn't be on shot night. When  she called yesterday I hesitated, but then figured aww I don't do my shot til about 11 anyways. So it was no real problem Sat. Although I had fun  spending almost 2 hrs playing cards,a rather funny and bizarre form of war, with the 4yr old, the grandkids were having such a good time with my 14yr old I ended up doing my regular chores mostly. Injection didn't even matter much when they woke me at 4am cause the 4 yr old had gotten sick in bed.(NO junk food that night either, still happens). BUT Sunday I was counting on the 14yro going out with his other Grandfather in from NM,which he did, and my daughter was to p/up the kids by noon, so I could rest. She changed it til 3 and I did practically jump for joy at 2pm when the 4yro suddenly took a nap. MAN, I was tired. Glad I did it though. The're already makin plans for soon again. It's hard sometimes on my son, w/no kids around. Next time though, maybe Friday night.
Be well
