Hi! I am 4 years post treatment. I think about everyone from time to time and wonder how you are doing. I still have hip pain & stiffness frequent & sporadic joint pains & feet neuropathy. Otherwise I feel pretty good & am loving life..
I hope you are doing well. I wonder about the triple therapy being a catalyst for other new symptoms I have developed.
I just believe the damage done by therapy cellular, has long term predisposition to other health issues... But I am still SVR and for that I am thankful! I hope you are doing good as well!
