I'm just glad you are feeling better again : )
The new treatments will have so many less sx, it will be a piece of cake for you!
Build yourself up strong, and also pamper yourself, you deserve it <3
Thanks for all your post and cheering me on.I am ready to get strong and take on my next battle with the Dragon!
Hi rocky, my hair loss had pretty much stopped by week 3 post. It did not really start growing back until about 3+ months post.
Congratulations on the new grandchild! Great news and motivation to help you recover quickly.
Wow, what a warrior you have been and we know that you will beat this eventually!!! I am glad you found (some) acceptance. For me, acceptance and turning all my crap over to my higher power is the reason I am alive and fighting this once again, though only my 4th!
Something new will come down the pipeline and it will be much more tolerable and it will also be the ultimate dragon slayer!
Keep on living and congratulations on the new grandchild!
Prayers and good energy your way,
Chris
I just want to say that I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. But I don't believe all the time and effort you have put into this was for nothing. You may well have kept the virus from doing even greater harm had you not gone through all the treatments. You are in a fight for life and so far you are winning. Stay strong, get healthy, and prepare yourself for the next battle.
Congratulations on your new grandchild. Enjoy him and every new day!

I am surprised your hair is still falling out. Why, I wonder. Mine stopped falling out about week 36 on treatment and First tx it did not fall out after, at all.
Congrats on the new grandchild. She sounds wonderful
How longafter treatment does your hair stop falling out? I have bald spots.
My daughter had a Parker and he weighed 9lbs, 11.5 ounces. The doc was shocked he weighed so much, he said the week befor that he was average size. My daughter is a tiny thing!
Congratulations on the birth of your Grandson! Feel better soon!
Congrats on your big, healthy grand-boy being born! That is how much my first son weighed, and I was only 21 yrs old, with very narrow hips (back then)
I hope that you begin to feel much better soon. Keep up with the healthy
meals, and build yourself up strong.
After 8 treatments, all I can say is.....I would be more than happy to beat down that dragon with a big stick, stab it in the eye with a fork and kick it where it counts!! Just say the word.
For now -- recover. Tomorrow (God willing) will take care of itself. Your daughter is right. Enjoy that new smiling baby boy :0)
Hugs & Prayers,
Bee
I just wondered how you were doing and you posted within a few minutes. Love that. I DON'T love that you're not feeling well and still feeling the sfx.
Congratulations on your (rather large) new grandson. Glad everyone is doing well!
Still not feeling great still having sx. The best thing my newest grandson was born last night Parker James 9lbs 11.5 ounces. My poor baby girl she is tiny. The d was shocked the thougt she was going have an average size baby. He's perfect:)

Your daughter must be so scared. What a tribulation: you fighting for your life while she is bringing one into the world. Life is amazing in the way obstacles turn into path changes. The best is yet to come for you - You become the Matriarche, a cherished position, Granny. The new oral drugs are coming for the type of difficulty you have - almost custom made for those that do not tolerate the harsh tx we have today, major hope for you.
This is disquieting and I must honor your great courage and fierce will. No doubt your daughter has the same qualities. Also your kindness and support over time here has been and is so valuable.
Thinking of you, praying for you.
I'm so sorry and can only empathize w/you on your bravery and this disappointment.hugs(((())))).
I am so sorry. There was always that outside chance. You carry one heck of a resistent virus, girl.
How are your lungs? What do your doctors say - any permanent damage? Have you been able to use your inhalers again? Sorry to hear the anemia is still bad - are you still taking procrit?

I'm so sorry to hear that triple tx didn't work for you. I will pray that the new drugs that are being developed will be available soon. In the meantime, enjoy that new grandchild!

I have been reading your posts Rocky. Gee sorry to hear the bad new's. More drug's are on the way. Less sx... All orals. I had one of them and now its in a cocktail. I had no sx ;-), but then the riba and interferion did not bother me eighter. Good luck next time.
It will happen one day, you have been so strong. Enjoy your new grandbaby get rested and try again.
Very ,very sorry u will beat this dragon with new meds comming .
Jen has told me there is many new treatments coming up. I told her if it's the last thing I do am going to slay this dragon. Like said I was dpressed and angry. I hve a new grandson coming any day now. So how can I be depressed. My daughter said to me that she was sad for mebutshe was glad they stopped the drug. She sad would rather have you with HCV then dead. It really touched my heart Love always heals the heart.
Thank you all for your love and support.
i had a break thru at 6 weeks on INC and the rash was unbearable' One of the top liver doctors recommended I do VIC when availabe and I always tell my doc after every failure tell them to let me know when something new comes a long. I balled for 3 days then got angry for 3 days, but now I amjust reay to go on with my life and get healthy and ready for round 9.
