Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Isn't it awful what we have to go through to get ordinary care???? I am continually shocked at the callous treatment clinics and doce pass out. Good for you to carry it forward farther and to get the help you need. Sharon new member and name is kelly hi my name is kelly i havent started treatment yet my first appointment is in june 15 i am so nervous i got referral to ucd in sacrmento the hep c clinic. i had to have stanford doctors refer me because when i came back from stanford and seen my doctor he told me that they would monitor me for a year to see what happens and i look at him and said you dont understand i cant get any sicker i have a son who just underwent a liver transplant and i am his caregiver. he tells me well we arent stanford andwe will monitor you to see what happens. well i called my sons social worker and sh calls the doctors there and they sent in all the referrals for me.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 , Good for you, Girl! You stood up for yourself and told the doctors their plan didn’t work. We HAVE to be our own advocates in this game. Many docs don’t even know as much about this disease as we do. If you do tx, it will be hard. Do you have some back up to help with your son?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Some people have very mild side effects and others have a hard time. Keep a positive attitude and drink lots of water and that will go a long way. Be sure to let your son’s tp team know what’s going on with you. Maybe the person that helped you get your doctor referrals can help you get some after care help for him, too, while you’re going thru it. Maybe a visiting nurse or something once a week in case of brain fog. You & your daughter might need to make a chart of what meds he needs, etc. and write down what’s been done & when so no one gets confused. /De Re: new member and name is kelly I have some family that live in the area but they all work.My 14yo daughter stays home and does independent study so she helps out when i need help il just scared on what the treatment is going to make me feel i have heard horrible stuff.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi , I am starting week four and so far it hasn't been all that bad. Everyone reacts different I usually have 1 or 2 days that are kinda bad but nothing I haven't been able to handle yet thanks to the wonderful people here. My problem is eating and drinking sometimes but force myself. right now except for my left leg hurting I am actually hungry again and feel pretty darn good today. Also had good appetite yesterday so each day seems to be different, do 4th shot tonight. I am worried about my leg as I am prone to blood clots but staying positive and keeping it elevated don't want to have to stop tx for any reason.
