3 to go..

Well i'm still here.. still on the treatment.. still feel like crap.. I thought it was time to check in here though and try and motivate myself for the last few weeks. Now i'm looking forward to the treatment ending the weeks seem to drag by.

I found out after 11 weeks that there would be no 12 week test since i'm type 3, at this point I felt really low since a negative test I felt would keep me going till the end. I suddenly felt like I knew very little about my treatment and my blog was becoming a list of all my moans and groans. It was even depressing me reading it back to myself.

Anyway 3 weeks to go and i'm looking forward to getting my energy back and putting some weight on. I've lost 7 kilos since I started treatment but it looks like a lot of muscle has gone so i'm planning on getting some regular excercise when this is over.

Hi Alan,

Found your Blog thru Ron's forum. Have to say, congrats on lasting tx so far!! I know us '3's' are fortunate that we only have to endure 6 rather than 12 months - but being due injection #7 on sunday, 6 months seem such a long time...

Wish you all the best, its really not that far off and I hope I also manage to stick-out the 6 months.

Congrats!!

Hi Alan

Glad to see you back on the blogs. Know what you mean about worrying that blogging is a lot of moaning but I find it useful to look back and see how things have acutally got easier as I go. So it can be useful.

I've lost 2 or 3 kilos since I started treatment (and more before that). Like you I think some of this is loss of muscle tone. But as I am now the same body and clothing size I was in my 20's I quite like it - and not wanting to return to being 'bigger'.

Like you I am now starting to count down the last remaining weeks - and looking forward to not living 'inside' this tx. Keep your cool - only 3 more weeks of crap to go.

All the best
Ron

Hi Alan,

Great to read your blog. Hang in for that final 3 weeks (which may feel like the longest 3 weeks known to humanity, but they will pass!). I'm now a month post treatment and it is a fine, fine place to be. Look forward to seeing you on the other side. Best wishes for the remainder and for svr,

Sue
