"the waiting is the hardest part"

Thank you, Tom Petty.  We are waiting now.  Waiting for weeks to pass so blood can be tested and confirmation can be received that DH is still negative for the virus.  He has been off the treatment for 2 weeks.  In 2 more weeks, he'll have his first post-treatment blood test.

GOOD NEWS!!!

Doc gave us good news today.  No more Interferon shots and no more Ribivarin.  Hooray!!!!  Last Saturday was the LAST Interferon shot and he will take the last Ribivarin on Saturday.  DH is still scared and I know he will be until he gets "undetectable" at 4 AND 12 weeks.  Then we can really celebrate.  Thanks be to God!!!!!

Can you see the finish line?

I feel like we're at the end of a race.  The finish line is right there and DH is crawling to make it.  Tonight may well be his LAST Interferon shot.  But he's literally CRAWLING to make it to the end.  He's so tired and he didn't get the Neupogen (or whatever the hell that stuff is called) medicine in the mail.  He was supposed to get it but somehow it didn't come.  Now he's sleeping all day BEFORE he gives himself the Interferon shot.  I'm very glad he has an appointment this Wednesday.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE doctor say he doesn't have to do this anymore.  It's just not living.  And we're some of the lucky ones (we really are because DH is being cured).
