To my friends, fellow heppers
Hello ALL! I hope everyone is getting thru tx, re-cooping or finding answers whether to or not to!
I took a very needed break from a few things the past mth.
While I miss you, getting my life back is like....coming back to life! Out of the fog, the dark, the reclusive ness of it all. Any newbies.....I was Geno 2b, tx 24 weeks, UND week 4, SVR!! I did not do well, homebound, bed ridden thru most. Post tx was just h*ll also for me. First 4 weeks, sicker than during. Next few mths relentless muscle pain, fatigue, mental depression, just thought life would never get back to normal.
7 mths post.....a couple weeks ago it's like I woke up and I was better, back to -almost-normal. The leg pain just left me! Very few days I have any pain now, and it was a lot of pain! It is SUCH a relief to know I am, will get back to normal. 5-6 mths post, I was getting very worried.
While I am sure most understand, I do apologize for MIA for awhile, not answering some PM's, notes. I also am dealing with my sister being given a time now on her life (cancer) and along with this tx, struggle, my mind is pretty whipped. My heart is very whipped. BUT, I am regaining my life, riding my butt off and it feel's awesome! I care about MANY here and just wanted to say, again, thanks so much for helping me thru tx, post tx and so many things. I truly hope all on tx are getting thru it and please know.....it DOES end. It is worth it, for me and many and HANG IN THERE! I am 'back', not as much but I will be checking my PM's more, etc. so any Geno 2's I can help, as per my odd tx, reducing, hard time, please feel free to ask. Goes for all, just more input for Geno 2's, having BEEN :) one.
On to Halloween decorating and life!
My best to everyone here, hugs & love LL

AS always LL - count on you to come in here and encourage others! Some things just don't change much do they!
As Walrus said - boy pain IS great when it leaves and I am so glad for you that you are getting well. You will be better and better until that wonderful treatment amnesia hits and you think "wow it wasn't really THAT bad" LOL.....thank God for the amnesia feature!
We'll all be thinking of you and your sister - you are both so blessed to have each other!

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I lost my double-first cousin to AML Leukemia 2 years ago this month and it seems like yesterday. His mom and my mom are sisters and my dad and his dad are brothers...., so our families are very close. He was like the brother I never had. Anyhow, I've recently started volunteer work for 4 hrs on Thurs. afternoons, at the American Cancer Society. I just help them out in the office. It makes me feel like I'm contributing something to the world around me.

Thanks much to all. My sister...it's rough. We've/ I've handled it all well, but when they give you a time frame, it's a whole other thing :( She had 5% chance 9 years ago! Chemo most of every year for NINE years has kept her here. She has kept an amazing quality of life for going thru all that. We are very close, she is also like my mother. Having lost my other closest friend in 06 to cancer also, it's been quite heavy on the heart. I'd like to note:::::: It is due to a Dr.s mistake that she is where she is! At 46 he told her it was 'just hemorrhoids, your young" !
Thanks to all of you, many of us know loosing someone, going thru their suffering is so very difficult.
Becoming 'human' again.....is helping a LOT.
An FYI on OUR tx.....thru out her years of surgery, chemo.....I have always helped her. During my tx, she was helping me, I was sicker than her! This tx is brutal, you all WILL get thru it but DO give yourselfs TLC and demand it from hubbies, loved ones! Understand that it IS very hard for many, most and be kind to yourself.
Love and hugs to you all, LL
