5th week of treatment

Hey guys everything's going pretty well with treatment.. I am taking 5th shot soon. Treatment for me has been easy so ppl just starting dont be scared... I am a lot tired more often but it's not unbearable or anything. Eating 20g of fat is still hard but I am managing and eating every time I take my meds! I have not developed any extreme side effects from any  of the meds. Although my hair still falls out alot. Good thing I have alot of it. But honestly so far the hair loss and been the worst. Other then that I hope all is well!!!! And u guys are staying strong

It's so nice if you to make this post, thank you! Most of the people who have an easy time with the meds are off living their normal lives, and its usually just those who are suffering who spend time posting here. It ends up making it look like nearly everyone has a horrible time with the meds, and scares off some who need the tx. I hope your post will be read by many who are considering tx!
