Hey I’m not much behind you heh
Hit it yesterday
but was it was a little overshadowed by a whole lot of other health crap lol All good now hopefully.
Definitely, hear you on that.
What’s the point of helping one sick population merely to potentially endanger others?
My best friend has terminal metastasised kidney cancer, he needs fortnightly blood tests just before chemo and more extensive bloodwork every 6 months. If he’s gonna be up to pay for them, it will be difficult.
Very likely, mate
Its hard to conceive that these have gotta be hard-hitting drugs, but there is so little evidence – except the bad numbers dropping
Most people have a hard time finding much (if any) indication you’re taking anything during tx. Keep up the hydration and you’ll cut the risk of headaches. For me, I couldn’t say there was any at all (until I had other health issues which have complicated matters a bit lol)
Bloody fantastic, em
Woohoo
You have got some great numbers there, glad to hear mate.
Hey Tina, hoping for great news for you on SVR 4
Fingers crossed and thinking of you mate.
It won’t be long, kiwi (thoughI know it seems like it takes a few years lol)
Definitely you can’t wait for Pharmac to move on the new meds, good on you for seeking Dr James out.
You will be on the road to UND, as so many of us have travelled before you. All the best
Sorry I have missed so much of your journey Life!
You have a kickarse attitude we could all learn from
Best of luck for SVR 12!
Great stuff, Leoshi!
It should be smooth sailing all the way…awesome to have another US brother on board here, out of the grasp of grasping Gilead.
Next, look forward to your EOT UND
Great to hear beaches
Think you’ll be knocking on that wood of “what tx?” for a while yet lol
Awesome news Jimmy, congrats!
Definitely the waiting game is on now
But we all have the best of chances with this tx, so every reason to hope.
Welp, yesterday was finally EOT day, 12 weeks done and dusted
(6am photo for posterity lol)
One week to find out if UND has stuck (which I have no reason to think it hasn’t, recent liver pain aside!) Though I reckon I may have the answer for the crushing exhaustion I’ve had lately.
Alas I spent most of the day in the ER, again /facepalm (really need one of those emoticons lol) 3rd time in as many weeks
Still dehydrated after more than 2 litres of water pre blood-test that morning (running out of places to stick cannulas at this point lol) and so lightheaded I didn’t think I could make it back home under my own steam. I’ve been feeling worse and worse over the last 5 days or so, fatigue/weakness/brain fog which put anything I experienced with Hep c to shame heh. So, guess its not surprising that the docs have come round to the conclusion that I’m amongst the 25% of post-op thyroid patients whose remaining one doesn’t look like its gonna kick back in properly. Well that would explain a few things lol
On the way up to the hospital, I was trudging so bad a white-haired elderly couple passed me
And just when I’d turned my alarm off from sof/dac daily 6am dosing…on it goes again for thyroxine

Thanks Mike
I’m about 2 decades off 65 heh but due to such individual reactions nothing can be discounted re tx side effects imo. I’d been putting the whole pain/discomfort out of my head for the most part, but this morning after a bit of a sore night I’m kinda ashamed to say I cracked lol and got onto the clinc nurse. She said that just because I was getting increasing liver pain symptoms and tiredness was no reason to think the meds weren’t kicking along as usual and not to be concerned. Logically there’s only the slimmest chance of that not being the case, I know. That said, the test results due to get in next week will be impatiently awaited, that’s for sure!
