Hi again, NOT so old dude!

Half life of Incivek is about 9 to 11 hours.  I was feeling better in a few days.  Butt burn got better in hours.  Hemoglobin came back up slightly in a few weeks.

Not to pop your bubble, but when I said you'll feel a LOT younger soon, I meant when you finished ALL the Tx.  But I bet you find it goes much faster after the Incivo...except for that last week of Riba, after my last shot... that seemed to take forever.  But I felt better, just from the excitement and anticipation of finishing.

Thank you for the heart-felt video. I was touched too.

Brad

 

 Thanks Brad!!!

Man, I can hardly wait to get to that last shot!!!  But I have AT LEAST 12 shots to go. Dr increased my interferon from 90 to 135 this week. I go for labs on Fri. and may be increasing Riba in a week or 2.  I feel that the Hemoglobin is starting to slowly increase.

I cried too. Thank you.  You don't look old and it will amaze you how much better you will look as the Incivek leaves your system.  That stuff is a nasty blessing in disguise... congratulations!

 Hi Kate! I've noticed a little more energy today but I am still white as a ghost! Any idea how long it may take to leave the system?

I hope you are doing well!

Hi Mark.  Way to go, done with Incivo!

Great to put a face with the eyeball  (your avatar).  

And, you will look younger soon, because you will FEEL a whole lot younger soon ;))

Stay the course my friend.

Brad

 Hi Brad!  Whoot- Whoot!!! I'm starting to feel a wee bit better, and a little more energy, each day.

The eyeball "Big Blue eyes" is my son (he got his mother's eyes)... I'm the one in the reflection holding the camera!  LOL!

How's eveything in Vega?

All the best,

Mark
