Well you certainly have the right attitude.... Better than mine, and I probably have an easier situation (so far)
So I hope this time works out for you.
R U taking some new treatment, or the same as the first time. Kinda confused on that.

Welcome and glad you spoke up on the board. Whew, first injection today! How did it go? I goofed up my first one and had a bad time of it but I've been pretty good with my  other seventeen so far.

By half a liver, do you mean you have a lot of scarring? What stage and grade are you, if you don't mind my asking?

Here's to the good fight and hope to hear more from you soon.

All the best.

How is the study going so far? Do you interact with the other patients? You survived your first injection!

I had my meds for a week before I worked the nerve to take them, given all the anxiety from side effects.  Then my mom kind of joked with me and said, do you want to see what kind of side effects are on my ear drops?  Kinda made me lighten up for second and realize there is risks with everything.  I also don't think God would bring me this far just to have me lose it with treatment...but I am quite pessimistic...so that is still in the back of my mind.  I am just doing my best to try to drink more water and just look at the positive outcome I am hoping to have when treatment is done.
