Interferon Diary, Day #20

Today Noo receives the last of twenty doses of IV interferon! This signals the end of daily weekday schleps to the infusion center, and the beginning of the real endurance trial: eleven months of thrice-weekly subcutaneous doses. She's done so well with the IV doses, I think she'll weather through the rest of the year's treatment in similar fashion. Our emotional landscape--at first so overwhelmingly dark, when we got the diagnosis--has almost returned to normal: mostly sunny, some overcast days, scattered showers.

Hello. I havn't seen anymore posts about how Noo is doing. I started interferon exactly one month after she did. I am finished with my treatment in April 2010. This is soooooo brutal. I do have more days of feeling better than the 1st few months. My expectations arn't high so anything works... Feel fluish most of the time. I have lost quite a bit of hair (thinning) So I cut it short, seems to be stabling out. I only wish that was the only side effect. God bless you and Noo. Terri

Sounds like "the beginning of spring". So hopeful! :)
