Is anyone happy they were treated for Hep C?
Is anyone free of side effects after treatment for Hep C? I am having trouble finding anyone who is happy they were treated. Everyone seems to have side effects long after finishing taking interferon etc. Is there ANYONE who can tell me they are well and happy after, say, a month after finishing with the regime?
I tried to ignore this since it's a bit old but here goes. . .
First tx I relapsed.
But I don't regret doing it simply because how could I have accepted my daughter's giving me part of her liver for a transplant without feeling I'd tried everything I could first?
Now, I'm doing tx a second time, post tp, und since week 4.
Regrets? No way.
Even when we don't succeed in ridding ourselves of the virus, tx often improves the condition of our liver.
If the choice is doing interferon tx or having advanced liver disease, a transplant or dying, who cares how well you feel one month after?

I was very happy I treated.....was somewhat less happy with the results...however life is like that sometimes.

It took me quite sometime to feel somewhat so called normal again about 9 months. Still have effects, joint pain, mobility issues but doable....
Im grateful in spite of it all.Charm

I was happy I treated , I am now cured.
No..I wasnt happy about the sx but knew it was the only way and I had to see it though. It was a hard 55 weeks for me and I was home bound the entire time. Dont think anyone is happy about side effects, but we all need a shot at SVR. You have to know going into this what your in for possibly.
Yes Im happy now its over and elated Im cured.
Tx was a 24 hour battle for me but so well worth it.
There is a price to pay for everything.
Sure beats liver failure.
Luckily for this forum I had so much support, I went through tx alone and found this forum unbelievable comforting in so many ways.

Did you notice this post is one year old?
Its hard to know when you ask people questions on old posts whether they still come to the forum.
Why don't you try sending a note to that person instead?
