Congrats Sally

You are amazing Sally! 48 weeks can feel like a lifetime on that treatment. You well deserve and long restful break with good lab reports. Onward and upward to SVR for you.

Oh Sally, very well done!   

I remember when you first joined us and I`m so pleased you`ve finally done that last shot and have only a few more pills to go, congratulations to you!! 

You`ve been a real trooper getting through a tough 48 weeks on incivek triple and you should feel very proud of yourself!

Take it easy while you`re recovering and building up your strength, ready for your wonderful trip to Florida!  (Wish I was going with you!) 

And all the best of luck with your EOT results, keep us posted! 

Hey GT,

It has been my pleasure to meet you and help in any way possible! You helped keep a smile on my face when I needed it most And I thank you for that. You've had a long battle and I'm thrilled you're getting the opportunity to see your son here in the States. Once in the Keys you'll be a short 3 hours from me. I hope you have fun and enjoy our abundant sunshine! I look forward to hearing updates along the way and will keep my fingers crossed that you have smooth sailing and SVR in your future! My best to you and your family...

Thank you all for your words of encouragement its been a roller coaster but finally stepping off on Sunday.

Off to see my son in the USA and Florida keys in Nov for 3 months of paradise (one of my favourite places). 

 Tig and Scruffy thanks for looking out for me during all of this its meant a lot and I will never forget about potato flakes and chuckle every time I see a packet .

Newmex I am rooting for you to cross that finishing line in a week or so and we can toddle off to the waiting room in post treatment. 

wow. I admire u. the longest I did was 32 weeks, all I could do. had relapsed anyway. (incevek,riba &interferon.) u are a trooper!!!!! yayyyyyyyy

48 weeks !!!  Wow, what a huge effort.  Well done for the tenacity to see it through. 

Hi Sally,

Congrats on getting to the finish line! I remember back in January how you didn't think you'd make it.

Best wishes for the VL tests to come. It'll take time to feel 'normal' again, so take it easy. Give yourself a pat on the back. Cheers.

Congratulations Sally, I 'm sure you're ready for the finish line and moving on with your new life.  Seeing someone make it through this helps us all to keep things in perspective.  Wishing you the BEST   

Wow, I envy those of you who have trudged through all the Sx crap that those meds dish out for 48wks.

 You know all that's just gotta make SVR feel that much better!!!

Congratulations on taking the last shot! The finish line is finally here. Good luck and enjoy life without Hep C!

Nice work Sally

I know what you have been through. Those last few weeks really play on every part of you. I'm so happy for you. There are still a lot of ppl here than know the feeling of shot number 48 and are very proud to have been part of your tx support. 

To a better Hepc free life. "Its a long way to the top when you wanna rock and roll"

Congratulations Sally!! I remember what I felt like after 28 weeks of that stuff and can only imagine what you're feeling like. Kind of like being pulled through a knot hole backwards perhaps??? Just a few more days and you'll be done with the lot of it and then the recovery can begin. Don't be in a hurry, it won't help. It took me months to recover and the Riba is the longest hanger on in the group. The anger and irritation took me the longest to get past and I'll have you know, I didn't replace that box of potato flakes, lol!! What a memory... I know everyone that has ever had to take Ribavirin has had something similar occur on tx. Be very proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. No easy feat at all. Thank God you won't ever have to do something like that ever again! Rest and recover and keep us informed of all the good news sure to come! I'm so happy for you... Good luck!

Tig

 WOOT!!  

A big congratulations to you!!!  I don't know you either, but give you major applause for sticking it through 48 weeks.  That is quite an accomplishment.  Best of luck to you and may the road ahead be smoother.

That's  just fantastic Sally, i don't know you either but I have a slight idea what you've gone thru listening to others.

So a great big yee haw to you for your completion (almost) and prayers to the success of it so you can get on being healthy ,happy and thinking of better things to come......

Hi there all

Its been a very long time since I posted...... Im now in week 48 and on Monday I took my 48 INF shot which was then rammed into the yellow box with the other partners in crime and the lid shut firmly.... the Riba finishes at 1800 hrs on Sunday so a little bit more to go...its been a tough journey, most of it spent in survival mode and dried potato flakes mode!!! . Im knackered and feel as though I have been turned inside out and back again and that some one was constantly moving the finishing line..as the sign in heart break lane says for the Royal Marines  finishing their long runs "Its only pain, 500 metres to go"..

There have been days when I questioned my resolve and others when I thought, even with low HB this is fine and life carried on as normal (well triple therapy normal). I don't know what to expect for the recovery but its onwards and upwards now.

The support and caring given by people who I will never meet has been very touching and makes you realise that there is so much good in people and when the going gets tough its what gets you through.

Thank you 

Sally
