VL Way down @ 5th wk tx

At the 5th wk my VL was at 55,000  - down from 29 million at beginning of tx. Now I'm into my 7th wk.

Also, many dark and evil side effects have reduced. If I could only get the anemia tachycardias to go away, I'd be a happy camper.

My God, week 2-4 were hell when my bloods dropped. But I'm not dead yet, and wish you all strength and fortitude.

I believe we who endure the hell of this tx are truly the olympians of souls.

Me to!  love the olympian of the soul!  very cool!

Take care, be easy with your self,  how is your HGB been?  Some people get that on tx,  your red blood cells help push blood through your heart, when they drop it can be scary. for me it is lungs, I have a really hard time breathing.

Are you on rescue drugs at all? I just read it again, it is anemia.    sorry!

Hang in there!

I hope you start to feel better soon. I wish you will. Tx can be horrible for some. Hopefully you will see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Take care of yourself.
