Let me say, it's been a long 48 weeks and a trying 48 weeks.

So today is my last day of this part of the journey as this trip has ended.

Undetected as of week 8.

Today I went for a complete blood work and there will be 3 more over the

next 6 months.

I am hoping that my body recovers quickly as I haven't done to much over the

past 11 months due to side effects (and I mean some serious side effects) but

my Dad just came home from the hospital last week after spending 6 weeks due

cancer, stage 3 and advancing rapidly. So I need to be strong so I can be of any help

to him with his time being limited

Thanks for all the kind people here at the forum, it was great just reading post even

though I haven't contributed much
