Bullseye -Week 50
Not my best week, worst for a while if truth be told but then, like an Angel sent to bless me from heaven above, it turns out today [Monday] is a Public Holiday! I needed that, a great lazy long weekend that has hopefully set me up for the next few weeks.
Got another PCR test next week, just to make sure the virus is still undetectable. To be honest I’m not sure what I would do if it came back, instinct is to press on to 72 weeks anyway but as you may be able to tell I’m not sure. Still its all hypothetical at the moment….. although my ALT’s have been on the rise the last couple months, joint pain has returned and I can feel my liver when I lay down. Having said that [apart from the alts] its fairly typical for me when a PCR looms, as they say….. if you think something is in your mind you are almost always right.
To be honest though I’m passed caring, but in a positive way. This final stretch is just about keeping my guard up, moving forward and finding the strength to keep throwing the punches.
So onwards and upwards keeping in mind that whatever happens, no matter which way it goes, no matter what life throws at you the number one thing to remember is simply;
Muggsy Bogues is 5′3″.
Keep the faith, kill the virus.

Thinking about you. Huge big hugs no matter which way it goes. Life is good and I plan on enjoying each and every day as best I can from here on out. Life’s too short not to do otherwise and I truly do believe that life is what we make it.

Life is not fair but we forge on. You are running a good race whatever the outcome.

Hi, my name is Jason and i came across your website a few days ago and have been reading with great interest your story. I also have Hep C and am just over halfway through my 48 weeks treatment and am clear so far. I have started my own blog and was hoping you would stick my link on your website incase you or others are interested in the rest of my journey.

I don’t do inspirational message, but if I did, this would be one.
Not that you need it.

Good luck with the pcr. If it’s any reassurance I still have liver pain and sometimes joint pain 8 months post tx. You know how ALTs can rise and fall.
All the best

Well, week 2 ended last Thursday. Still no flu-like symptoms, but more nausea - sort of a strange, constant, low-level nausea. Also fatigue. Injection 3 was Friday night. After a few days of the same nausea, it seems to be letting up, but is not gone.
In week 13 I will find out if I’m on VX-950 or the placebo - really looking forward to that and learning what’s going on with my enzymes and viral load. That’s the one disadvantage of being in a clinical trial - it’s double-blind so you don’t get you blood test results.
Kill the virus!
