Harvoni...The End of Treatment


Hey there! I made it...12 weeks of treatment for Hep C, type 1, with the new antiviral drug, Harvoni! I would really like to say that I feel great, but that is not really the case. My digestive tract is really messed up and I'm pretty weak. I do find myself sighing a lot, though. My body is really relieved to be done with the chemicals I was putting into it for 12 weeks, I suppose. Relief comes from knowing that I am done with my second round of treatment for Hep C and that I can get on with my life now. I have definitely learned patience though my Hep C fight, but you know what...I am done waiting to get on with my life...it's time to do it. Right now!

Ok...I feel better now! I am in a holding period right now and really needed to write about it! Thanks for letting me share. I had my blood drawn last Thursday and will hopefully have my final doctors appointment next Wednesday. During my visit I will find out the results of my Hep C test and complete blood count and I hope and pray they are all great results. We shall see!

On another note...I still have not signed a contract for my new job, doing research, and have a scheduled start date for February 15th, 2015. Another patience issue that I am dealing with. It's like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but can't quite get to it...not yet anyway. I think this is where faith comes in and I have not had much luck in that department for most of my life. Time to get on my knees and pray!

I'll check back in next week with results...so tune in and have faith!
