Question for Nona50 - Hepatitis Message Board

glo53 · 09-18-2008, 08:03 AM

Nona50, haven't heard from you in a few weeks, just wondering how you are doing on treatment. How is your bloodwork? Are you lowering your numbers? I have doc appt Oct. 15. I will probably start after that. You are still in my prayers. Take care, gloria

Hi Glo. I am doing ok, but always feel tired. Not much to update on. I am on my way today to the lab for bloodwork, completed my 12th shot and now will get my viral #'s done. I won't know the result for approx 10 days. Thanks for your support, and best wishes to you. Talk to ya again soon.

Hi Glo..How are you doing ? I am ok, but really always so tired. Still able to work full time, but I have slowed down my pace. Got some #'s today. VL was 5 mil when I started, and @ week 12...VL was 24. Today I took shot # 14. I am not on this board often enough, however, thinking of you and wanting to keep you updated. Take care.

Hi Nona...Congratulations on the drop in VL! I am so excited for you! I have been checking daily to see if you post...I have an appt on Oct 15. My daughter graduates from college in Dec, not sure whether to ask the doc if I can start in January or just start the treatment now and stuggle through the graduation. You help me a lot when you tell me how you are feeling. I am so sure I can do this after watching you. I really appreciate all the info you can give me, so I know what to expect. I am praying daily for you, and I appreciate you writing, because i understand how tired this makes a person. I will post after my appt in a couple weeks and let you know what the doc says. Thanks again Nona. Take care...gloria

Hi Nona, I had my doc appt Oct 15th and he left it up to me whether to treat now. He said I could wait 2-3 years before there would be any more damage to my liver. He also said the sooner I treat, the better chance I will have to clear the virus. I am going to start in the middle of January because my daughter graduates from college in Dec. Doc wants me to get a clean bill of health from my oncologist before I start treatment. I hope everything is going good for you....how are you doing?
