I'm happy for you for making it through 48 weeks and that your partner was there for you and now you can have the same meaning in life for him. Cheers. What goes around comes around and love can be a beautiful thing to share with others.

Hi Douglas, good to hear from you again, and it`s great that you`re feeling so much better now after your gruelling 48 weeks of tx. I can well understand that you`re still grieving for your dad, four months is still early days after losing a close family member and it takes as long as it takes to come to terms with it and sort through the issues raised, that`s been my experience anyway.
You were lucky to have such a kind house mate who was prepared to put his own health needs on hold to help you out, now that`s the sign of a true friend, and I`m sure he`ll be very glad to have the same support from you now.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing you post tx update. Keep moving forward..wishing you all the best.

Hi Douglas,
Glad you're feeling 'normal' again. Your RBC's are creeping up and I presume your thyroid issues have settled. You're quite correct- having support through those long 48 weeks is priceless. Time to enjoy life- you've had your share of emotional problems. Cheers.
Thanks for your kind words. Reading through these forums while on
treatment was also soothing to the mind.
Still getting used to my Dad passing from cancer this past June. What's making it worse
is that my Mom is 75 y.o. and cancer was just discovered in her left kidney and ovaries
which the Doctors will be removing next week

Good evening everyone
Haven't been to the forum in a while as I'm still dealing with my dads
passing from cancer 4 months ago.
It's been 6 months since I finished my '48' week treatment. I gotta say that
I'm feeling great. Most of the side effects have gone, still have trouble sleeping.
The Dr. called today with my blood work results. Most levels were up where they
belong except for:
RBC
4.6 - 6.1 MIL/uL
4.5
I have read through a few post tonite and I just want to say to those of you
who are dealing with side effects and questioning treatment:
Please hang in there. I hope you have someone 'going through this' with
you. It helped me so much, especially when you are having one of those
days when you just want to 'crawl in a hole' and my 'mental' support at
home really helped me go on I wish everyone the best and success
in their battle
My house mate put off his Bariatric Surgery to support me through this
and it was difficult due to his obesity. Well this past Thursday he had the
surgery and that was the 'first day of the rest of his life'. And now I have
the strength and will to help him get on with his new journey in life.
