Hey John... Week 19, so you are 7 weeks ahead of me. Your the closest one from this site that I've compared notes with. I am really looking forward to no incevik, mostly for the mornings as I'm sick of force eating a fat filled breakfast. Plus, I can sleep in on Sunday, morning after shot day. Did your blood counts go up after incevik? That would be nice too! Have a little energy to do more. Just took my FINAL Saturday night incevik pills... Ka boom!

hey Gracie, yes maam it does get better to get away from the Incivic . Your right you can get a little more sleep, don't have to spend half your day trying to get rid of the burning itchies. Fog thins out a little, but my hair is still thinning too, haha

hemo went up some but exhaustion still hits about lunch time. Hang in there, we will knock it out together. So BOOM girl your on a roll!

Hi JoAnne,

Glad to hear your update and that you are feeling so well.  It's very encouraging I'm sure to others in the same situation.  My husband is coming up to 9 months post treatment and has been recovering from treatment slowly and steadily.  The last week has seen him feeling much better yet again, so his strength, endurance and concentration is definitely improving all the time.

Again, so pleased for you and glad to hear that life is all the sweeter!  Strength and hope have definitely gotten us through this journey.

Caroline

What Sally said ....lol.

Nice to hear the 48 week success stories. Have a feeling I may just be the last one of us old school treatment martyrs. The newbe's will be saying "how could they stand 48 weeks?". And we will say cause we are tough as nails! Congrats on a happier and healthier you!

Gracie,

I am still hanging in there also. Am starting on week 19, of 48. Have 2 weeks off the Incivic. last vl at end of Incivic was undetected. 30 more weeks to go, and it does get a easier off the Incivic. Hang in there
