Treatment Decision

Hi All,
Thanks so much for the encouragement when I wanted to quit treatment. I talked to my doctor and when I said 44 he said 52! So we negotiated to 48. What a sneaky (and good) doctor! Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I am doing the one week at a time and I feel strong enough to finish already. Take care, Kathy

ksk: It's great that you and doc can negotiate and arrive at decisions togeether.  You are in the 'dog days' of tx now and I hope time moves quickly for you.  You can always come here for encouragement and have people remind you of your committment.  Good luck as you finish up.

Rogirl: What INF wwill you be using?  Do you have some assistance lined up for the first shot, a doc, nurse?  The fist is kind of intimidating.  If you're not sure about what your doing, ask.  Many people go to their doc for #1.  Good luck as you start.  Tell us tomorrow how it went.

Hi Kathy,

I'm very happy that you're staying the course. You'll be finished in a few weeks, and then you'll be glad that you did all 48.  Take care.

Sorry, I meant gerbil.  BTW, I posted in a way-down thread that on my quest blood reports that the ALT range is 2 - 60 and I remember my endo saying that it was a 'new range'.  I realize it's splitting merkin hairs but 51 ain't that high.
