Wow, your almost done. Well, I'm 4 weeks post tx and feeling really good. Yes, I was told to that it would take a few months to feel better but for me it started to get better by the second week. My HGB is 11.5 now and I have no problem eating, going in the sun, doing things around the house, etc. It's a great feeling and your'll be there soon. I've been off the procrit almost 2 weeks so I bet this week my HGB will be around 12.5 or close to it. I was down to 145lbs while on tx and now I'm 162lbs and it feels good, now I have to slow down on eating. LOL
This is what you have to look forward to my friend.

Mr. BB, so how have you been doing? I am going on my 23/24 shot this wednesday. I can hardly wait. Just getting through treatment was an experience, but now I am wondering what after treatment is like. My NP says it will take another couple of months to feel better. What has been your experience?
I like to read everything on this board, side from the negative personal comments. Those that have treated and gone on, those who are treating and those who have just stopped treating are all very important information for me. I hope all stay around and realize that it is easy to get fired up if you have personal issues to deal with. God Bless!
LOL, don't worry about the spelling, just be here. We had the same person over the Memorial Day week end upset many here but we decided to stand down and he just faded away.;) Glad your staying, you'll find most here will help whenever they can.

Glad your hgb is better. I posted above to you.

I agree with you all, and it's sad that some will leave because of what the mental case has said. Us old timers are use to this but I fell for the newbies and the young ones coming on in their teens and twenties that will not come back and really need to be here for help. This is a virus that knows no borders or age group.
Please anyone who was offended by what was posted the other day, know it's not something that happens here much. Those that care will always be here to help all, so please think about returning to the forum. You all are needed here.

We've certainly had some looloo's that have tested our patience in the past huh? I wonder how some of them made out with treatment (especially the one who was sure us stupid people could cure ourselves with herbs...and that all skinny people SVR LOL). I think some of the people DO have real mental problems that are aggravated by the tx or the stress of the treatment and it's sad that not only do they cut themselves off from tx but...they hurt the others who really WANT to be here.
Mental illness (and in some cases a good case of I Know It ALL) is a very sad thing.
