    Hi Coral. I’m sorry to hear about your Dad, my deepest sympathy and condolences.

    You are on the right track here, hopefully this will be your cure, but Dr. Freeman will see you through to a cure. That’s the beauty of FixHepc. You are in control of your destiny. All due to this wonderful man James Freeman who is the dream maker. He will help you find what is available and that you need. One day I bet he gets an award from somewhere, maybe a Nobel prize once the greed factor abates and everyone realizes they were so wrong in this topic. It takes balls to do what he is doing. And it’s the right thing to do, but it is standing up to Goliath.

    Thanks for your kind thoughts Beaches, Fara, Fitz and Murr. It means a lot.
    Splitdog – thanks – you’re on my watch list!
    Greedfighter – thanks. I know, Dr Freeman is quite extraordinary. It’s hard to know quite how to reward someone who gives you your life back. #flower

    Dear Coral
    Thank you for sharing your treatment updates and congratulations on reaching halfway through and the riba. I send you condolences for your loss of your dad as a daddy’s girl I feel deep pain over loss for a daughter of her father. My own died 11 years ago but it still feels like yesterday. Pat1 lost her dear dad during her tx it’s somewhere in the maze of forum posts and I know it was tough. You are one strong woman facing up to retreating and family loss. The courage you take forward will be forever and that’s something not many people have. I think people who have fought this illness hard are really amazing in many ways, learning to ride out bad news, rejoicing in good news, uplifting others, reading insightfully between the written or spoken words to the heart of the real person. I’m sure serious illness across all types has a profound effect on most people who have walked in our shoes and it’s only good. Affirmation of the strength it takes is so important.
    Sending love and huge splashes of happies on your halfway mark, and look forward to your updates Coral
    Love from Ariel
    Last night we enjoyed an amazing sunset which I managed to capture on my iPhone as I drove home from the hospital and I share it with you it’s so inspiring #love

    Hi coral #love , Good to hear you’re feeling positive and UND :+1:
    Have been thinking of you and wishing you the best result this 2nd time round.
    UND at 9 weeks? another 15 weeks of blitzing should see any stragglers off for good.
