Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Great news ! Hang tough buddy - we're all pulling for you! Chris My hemoglobin is starting to go back up, so we’re not going to do transfusions. My heart is ok, too. The doc does want me to cut back on Ribavarin until my blood stabilizes, but he says that for a short term it shouldn’t impact my treatment. Thanks for all the support. My wife (a pediatric nurse) has been really worried, and now she can relax a little. Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sounds so much like what happened with me during tx. So glad that you had your heart checked and also won’t need the transfusions. As I said, I didn’t have a problem stopping the Riba for a short time and you’re cutting back, not stopping. I hope you’ll get relief from the shortness of breath so both you and your wife can relax!
