See you in SVR City! Congrats. This train don't stop until we reach the end of the line!
Love it!
At my house, we borrowed a phrase from Meki. When I get into b***h mode...they will say...I'm sorry, was I breathing your air??
2 days of Riba left, right?? Yay for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, Sorry to hear you have to use the Choad term, but glad to share it! I am hoping to not need it annymore :-).
OK for those who are scratching their heads wondering what we are talking about. I told him that because of the irritiabilty and anger issues I had from the interferon, I decidied to come up with a code word in my house. This was after I had already managed to make every member of my family cry at least once.
We sat down and talked about what was going on with me and the meds and then I told the kids to make a any old word that would be code for me getting cranky. This could serve as a warning to them if I was irritable or they could warn me if they thought I was going south.
They came up with "Choad". My 20 year daughter actually did. Choad is a slang word (urban dictionary) for a short, fat, male organ. more specifically fatter than it is long.
My daughter said we should use that because I was Short on temper, had a fat attitude, and was being a ****. I bust out laughing and it stuck. It is know referred to as going "Choad Mode".
It worked most of the time too because I would say guys Dad is a little Choady and they would settle down. Of course there were still times when we had spontaneous combustion .
bra vo . you the man ! can i give you a big hug ,too ? " im not a stalker" you know that imfo about "choud" is being used daily around this house . very great news thanks for sharing bob

Looking forward to see you post those three little letters!!!!!
I wish you nothing but health and happiness and SVR for the future!!!

Congratulations!!!! I'm excited for you that you're done treatment and excited to know the results of this trial....also from one Roche guinea pig to another. :)
UND at Week 4 - looking good!! Be good to yourself the next while .. it seems recovery from treatment is similar to treatment in that it seems to differ for each person how it will go so we seem to have to continue to roll with it and just ride it out for awhile until we know we're back on solid ground again. How great that you are done treatment and I'll be hoping for you and watching for your PCR posts.
Take good care.

Wow... almost a year gone by... and now you've crossed the finish line! Congratulations -- your train has come in and I hope the freight is all undies! Best wishes, eureka
Congratulations on you last shot! Exciting night, that's for sure.
I did mine on April 20 and it felt amazing. I sure was in break-out-of-jail mode.

I really didn't plan to overdo it but I weirdly couldn't stop myself. It was strange, almost like being on black ice, unable to control the steering. At least twice, I started speeding around, almost at a run.
I'm sure it was the meds affecting me. Anyway, both times, I crashed pretty bad and it was no fun.
Someone else told me the same thing also happened to her right after tx.
So terrific job done and sincere congratulations. And don't forget to take that riba. I almost forgot a couple of times in that last week.
Congratulations on the LAST shot!!!!!
I wish you a smooth (and speedy) return to health. Don't do too much, too soon.
Will look forward to your SVR post, too.
All the best,
Isobella
Thanks everyone,
I did the dirty deed and feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I am sure by morning that freaking interferon will bring the weight back LOL. I will savor the moment.
Epi- glad you are feeling better. I will try and heed your advice but I have to admit I am chomping at the bit to get back into the swing of things!!! I am sooo ready to put this behind me.
Hats off to you!!! Quick recovery comin' your way along with SVR

Oh the sweetness of the LAST shot! :) Congrats!
Yay!!! Congratulations on almost finishing this crazy journey! I wish you a quick recovery and a big fat SVR!!!!!
Hey well done, my R7128 buddy!! I remember how great it was to take that last shot and that last pill as if it was just yesterday! Be gentle with yourself, my friend, don't take the bull at a gate approach to getting back to 'normal' life that I did, ease in gently if you can. I'm happy to report that I am definitely feeling improvements at Day 15 post, esp after my little crisis with the sleepers. Woohoo! I am so looking forward to your SVR post, like you I have great faith in our PI...
All the best
