A year post tx!!
One year ago today I did my last shot of int. I dont think I have any sides from tx at all, but I sure remember feeling rough a year ago!! I work construction and can still work hard with people half my age. I am SVR and am grateful for that. So much has changed in a year!! If you are new to Tx, or are in the middle of it, hang in there!! It will be just a memory next year, maybe not a fond one, but just a memory none the less. Have a Merry Christmas everybody!! It will be much more fun at our house this year.
Hey Slide. How can it be a year already? I finished 5 months ago. I am glad you are doing so well. I never understood how anyone in construction could work and treat. That had to be brutal and I admire you for it.
I agree with everyone here who is done -- it was brutal this time last year on treatment. I am so glad to be done and feeling healthy (although a heck of a lot fatter!!!!)

Your post is so encouraging to those in the midst of tx a well as those considering. It's definitely not an easy road to hoe, but for so many it's worth it. Congratulations to you, Slideman, Merry Christmas!
I am so glad to hear how well you're doing slideman. It helps everyone on the forum to see that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Happy Holidays, and best wishes for a healthy 2013.

Hello! Congratulations. Yes a rough year. A year ago this time I did not think I would survive. Now I feel so much better than I have in years
I thank God for this site and all the people in it
I echo Lizbo's sentiments exactly. The fact that we can relate to each other is a blessing. To be able to come her and receive understanding, support, caring brings tears to my eyes
Thank you all so much

Thank you for sharing your new life! I just received the okay today to begin treatment as soon as my meds are approved. I'm 3a so am looking at 24 weeks of Pegasys and ribavirin (God willing). Hearing the stories from those who are on the other side of treating inspire me. I am so looking forward to feeling normal again! Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year to you!
Good to hear from you and great to know you are doing well. Here's wishing you many Hep C free years in the future.
It feels like a reunion of misfits that only a dysfunctional, passionate, fearless family can share. I am so proud to be one of you - not happy about the Hep C but I never dreamed I could relate to strangers like the kindred souls all of us have become. I have to bow my head, close my eyes and say a prayer to the edge of time for this incredible trade off.
Happy new life Larry

I recognize most of you from your past activity on this forum and from having spent so much time on here. I wish somehow we could all meet someday. I know that won't happen, so I would like wish each of you a VERY merry Christmas and holiday season the only way possible, here where we all met. I will make my new year resolution to stay active on this forum and try to help all the new warriors I can!! We are all in this together and are all in some fashion extended family. Love you guys and thanks for all the tx help!!

Great to see it. I also do construction and I am looking forward to being able to be SVR myself. It may happen this year.
