He will probably start you back up in a few weeks,barb

I don't think he is even considering starting up again.

It will be okay...it will! Just take time to heal from your round with TX. There is still oodles of hope for a very healthy life and I will pray with you that your VL stays at ZERO!! There is always another plan at another time if needed.

Now, go and have a lovely year back at school with some great new students!!

If your labs come back up maybe he can start you on it again. Good luck to you Rynette. Take care and wellness to you.

Best of luck for the new school year! I'll pray that all goes well for you. We start school on Tuesday.

I hope you kicked the virus! What grade do you teach? hopefully its not 3rd graders with their endless amounts of energy.. lol

Keep me updated! Good luck! xoxo

Thanks for sharing your quite unique journey with me.

You might want to consider rebuilding your body with a really healthy diet and some supplements. There are a few books out there with help. One I have is Herbs for Hep C and the Liver, by Stephen Buehner. He covers diet as well.

When I found out about the virus, I was sick, really sick, and treatment was not an option. I've spent the last two years rebuilding my system in my body and hope that they find a treatment that isn't so devastating to the body. I'm also 1a.

Meanwhile I take my supplements and eat healthy food. I'm gardening this year, first time since 2004, when I started getting tired from the virus, during menopause. Estrogen protects the liver.

I have plenty of good healthy food to eat. Squash, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, onions, parsley, fennel, cilantro, cucumbers, broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, and all sorts of melons, raspberries, peaches and plums. I also have herbs - spearmint, peppermint, lemonbalm, sage, clary sage, apple mint and orange mint.

In 2002 before I got sick I was eating from my garden and feeling really well. The virus was dormant, as I was exposed in 1972. I was tested for antioxidant levels and I was off the top of the charts. Twice the level of the person who tested me and was hoping to sell me vitamins based on a lower score.....at the end of the summer, my levels had gone up 10,000, from 60,000 to 70,000. My sister tested at 35,000 and her kids tested around 11,000 to 17,000, they just don't eat what's good for them.

Antioxidants will protect the liver and the body. They destroy free radicals. I've been reading about this and it's fascinating.

Thanks everyone!!!

Best wishes for good health and happiness!

Hope to hear You are well!

Those neupogen shots are aggessive! Sometimes this TX does more harm then good so probably a good idea if you stop. Its hard to say if its enough time, I have spoke to many who didnt do the ideal TX time and they are clear. I wish you the best, my thoughts are with you.
