Final Week

At last only one injection to go.. I'd thought of a lot i'd have to say as I got to this point in treatment, but brain fog a high temp and irritating patches of skin have been conspiring to put me off. I suppose the important thing is i've got this far, i've had many occasions where i've been sick to the back teeth of this treatment but never really doubted that i'd complete the course. My own motivation as time passed was that the side effects i'd already experienced were not going to be for nothing.

When I started this i found it hard to find people who had completed treatment, now some of the people who gave me much needed encouragement have finished and mostly they are doing well which is great to hear. I would have liked to have made more of a commitment to my blog but I cant apologise for how I felt at times so I do plan on keeping my blog open and contributing after I finish. I think it's important for others to see that there is something at the end of the rainbow, i'll find out if it's a pot of gold over the next 6 months.

Hi Alan,

SO wonderful that you're on the final week. You have great strength and determination; have turned negative experiences into positive motivatinal forces - absolutely inspiring.

Life after treatment is a joy! Am finding a few minor sides are a little slow to leave the building, but there is no comparison to a few weeks ago on treatment. Life comes back in a very, very short time!

Hope the next week passes by quickly. Am so glad to hear that you will continue to post on your blog - agree that providing positive reinforcement for those considering or still on treatment a very decent thing to do.

Hi Alan

By now you will have finished - heaved a great sigh of relief (I know I will) and earned big congratulations. You stayed the course despite feeling like crap alot of the time. Strength and courage.

Your blog is important to others out there so it is good you are going to keep it going.

All the best post-treatment and of course wishing you SVR

Ron
