Hard to imagine...

Last night DH was sick and tired and depressed.  The depression manifests itself with extreme irritability.  He said he was nauseous from trying to get in the 20 grams of fat with every dose of Incivek.  And the doctor said he must take the medicine EXACTLY as prescribed.  Just like during the last round of treatment, I have a hard time imagining how he's going to make it through this week, much less 23 more (or will it be 47 more).

  1. I'm not sure how blogging works but maybe I am doing this right. Please tell DH I love him and am praying for him and I know he will make it through this tough time. I knew that it must be getting close to the time when he would start his treatments again but, as usual, I have been late or absent in communication with you guys. I had hoped DH would be able to get into the new drug therapy he had mentioned a few months back. I am guessing it is not an option for now. Do peanut butter cookies have the required amount of fat needed to take with his med? If so, some will be in the mail asap.
    Please know I love you both and both of you are in my thoughts, always.
    Love,
    T

  3. Well, this is the "new" drug therapy. The Incivek is the recently approved drug. I'm sure peanut butter cookies would help!!! :)

  4. This is DH.

    Seriously, this is kicking my ass...The new drug is taken 3 times a day and evertime I take it I have to go down for a few hours.
    Here we go tomorrow night with the second injection of Interferon.
    Looks like thia will be my life for the next year. Again. Not sure I'm going to be able to do it. My time in hell has arrived.
