Re: Starting PEG Interferon

My fiance is a week away from his last treetment (PEG Interferon). We are so excited! For the most part, he has done extremely well. We think that he has responded well to the treatment, but we will not know for sure until he receives his last test results. He really has not had many horrible side effects like many people endure. The main side effects he has encountered would be depression, nausea, and body aches. He has not lossed his hair (although most do) or had any other problems, but of course he is ready for the treatment to end and hopes that it has lowered his enzyme levels. We have endured many other difficulties envolving my parents. They found out about him having Hep. C and they think he is going to spread it to everyone (through eating utincils, touching, kissing etc). Which is not true. They will not listen to anything that I have told them and they have made it clear that they do not want me seeing the man that I love. It is very hard on both of us. I don't know if there is any way for me to prove that I am right. My brother is a Resident and is trying to prove that I am dumb and do not know what I am talking about. I am determined to stay with him and feel that God has special plans for us. Anyhow, hold your head up high. You will get through this with God by your side. If you have any questions about the treatment, I know a great deal about it. Not only has my fiance been on PEG Interferon, but my best friend completed the treatment over a year ago and she is still in remission and feeling great! Tweet
