TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. THANK YOU LORD!
and thank you guys for your prayers and good wishes.
as for the good news???? here goes:
they found no cancer in my liver.
the gall stones are just small and i do have pollups but this is not an issue at the moment. not a worry tho. if it becomes an issue, they will just whip the gallbladder out.
first, they wanna tackle the hep c and will look at removing the gallbladder after tx.
although my liver is seriously damaged it has not decompensated - great!
I AM RESPONDING to tx - my VL is down in 7 weeks to 254
my bloods are quite low but they said they have to push me as far as they can before reducing meds. so i carry on with tx for now.
my son is not a worry, but he will have to go through the same tx at some point. they said, maybe when he finishes his exams next year, but to reassure him that they're happy for him to wait and that he'll be fine.
there you have it. what fantastic news eh???
all i can say is thank you thank you and thank you all of you for your prayers and support. i believe all the prayers have brought this good news about and am once again positive about the outcome.
i hope all our prayers can be answered in the same way and that you guys soon enjoy your own good news. all you gotta do is believe.
chin up everyone, stay strong, be positive and keep smiling

Oh Pepy my darling friend, I am soo relieved.
I must admit, I was worried sick behind the scene, I can finally breath normally again.
My son, his wife, the little kids, and Richard are all around me, my son is assembling my computer desk.
And when I read your post, I just gave a big breath out and said she doesn't have cancer, to myself but out loud.
Very proud of you, and your attitude is the best, remember hun it's 50% of the battle.
As for your son, he's a hero all by himself.
A young Warrior that is... Love you guys, and will continue to pray that better days are ahead.
Love & Respect,

One day at the time.

thank you mckenzie honey:) like the trojan you are, always there for me to help pick up the pieces. well, it was good to post something good on here. i am sorry to have worried you. i was pretty concerned myself. lol..... but hey there are better days ahead, for all of us. we just gotta believe. it just goes to show that one minute things look like doom and gloom then the next they are rosie. i think this is a lesson, to me at least, never to lose faith, cos nothing is all bad and nothing is what it seems. i will think twice next time before i doubt the outcome and will continue on my very positive road to slaying this dragon. i can pick up the pieces with everything else after tx.
i think the moral of the story here that shouts out at everyone is NEVER GIVE UP!! we can beat this thing. just be strong, stay positive, smile and believe.
you have a wonderful pain free weekend my friend and be happy
luv ya

Congrats for the diagnosis! But keep taking treatment as long as medicos suggest and at adequate dosage as the evidence shows that viral response is dependent on dose and length of administration.
I debated telling you this Pepys, but pollups is really spelled polyps. But I liked your spelling better; it's more descriptive. Seriously tho' as soon as you've done with the Hep., get them removed. They can progress to cancer over time. Best of luck, Mindy xxx
