I just received a call from my transplant coordinator and a fax with orders for labs to be done on Thursday...complete with a PCR. Treatment for Hepatitis C may NOT be out of the question. So, I am very excited. That is what the big WhoooHoooo in the Title is for.
To those who have attempted treatment, that may sound somewhat bizarre (to be excited) as it is essentially signing up for "flu" for the year. But for someone who has lived with this disease and came close to dying with it, that is one of the most encouraging phone calls I've had. I'll happily inject my body with Interferon and have my twice daily ribavirin, plus whatever rescue drugs that are needed to become an official dragon-slayer.
Now I want to salute my partner in blogging (who was without electricity for a week due to the ice storms in Arkansas) by telling a story on her. When Deb and I first "connected" and I was talking about treatment, I received a very sweet and supportive e-mail from her and she was asking about the drug, InterFEARon. I totally love that spelling of the drug because I know that the dragon virus "will shudder" in fear with every injection.
So, to end this post I will add...
Keep your spirits high...robin
