July 12 the day I'm done

oooh its getting closer, July 12th I have my appointment with the doc and I take my last shot this coming monday; amazing
I feel so fortunate, to be und and to have gotten layed off so that I could regroup, and how wonderful you all are.
my hgb is low right now and I am good for spurts at a time,  time is the weirdest concept yet.  
Jan 25 seemed like yesterday, next week i'm done treating ( i hope) and in 4 months I start collecting SS.   slowing down my life and taking time to appreciate.
Love,
m
I wish everyone the best beneficial outcome

I can't remember - do they tell you what drugs you were on when you go for your exit appointment?  This week I go for my week 16 check up and, lawd, how I wish they would tell me that I was a 16 weeker.  I cannot wait to get off of these drugs - same issues with the hair here too along with a plethora of other stuff (as I sit here nauseated from my morning dose).  I know that you are not belittling the disease or treatment - we could all lighten up once in awhile.  Thanks for all of your input and support,
Debra

I dont mean to belittle any of this disease, I hope it doesn't come off that way, I realize I am very lucky and I am rethinking when I actually contracted hep C, somehow I'm thinking it might have been within the past 5 yrs somehow ( dont know how ).
I see so many posts where wonderful people are dealing with extreme results of this virus and I pray for your good health.

also, why is it that I still have the stupid long hair coming out of my face, but losing all the luxurious locks on my head.    the epitome of the cruelty of nature.

and just in time, I now have these weird lesions by my nose and herpes on my lips.  I have never had oral herpes  (oops giving it away ) so funny though I kissed my mom goodnite and a few days later, she had a herpes, ( it went away quickly, whew ) It reminded me of the movie satire on Rock & Roll, Spinal Tap.  I laughed real hard with that one.

Excellent! You did it Mary as I knew you would. I felt changed by tx. It made me really search what was important and dear to me and what was not. I think you were affected the same way. Not always by your choice, but changed nevertheless. Bravo Mary!
