Well, Good news! I got my blood work back and my white cells are on the move upward! Normally on my CBC I have 5 or 6 markers, on average, out of the norm - this time only three! I missed a couple doses of the Ribavirin last week so I am pretty sure that had something to do with it, never the less, I felt pretty good! I really wish this treatment could be like every other day instead of daily......one day without the Ribaviron sure makes for a good day! Then, of coarse, reality hits me......Treatment is meant to be everyday.....That's the only way it works.....If I want to stay "non-detectable" I have to take my treatments....... Sucks for now but it will be worth it in the end....Remember Lori, you are fighting for your life!
I felt so good the past few weeks that I neglected some of the most important things to me.....this blog for 1! And I haven't been in the chat rooms either to help support others going through the same things. I am not sure why it happened this way, maybe I just needed a mental vacation for a moment - to try to maintain some sanity and separate myself from the reality of my disease.
I am about half way through my course of treatment and as I talk to others going through the same - they say this is common. They say...."we have to face reality on a daily basis, if we don't then we get lax in our treatments and the disease is more likely to return."
That is all I have for now..........
