Any thoughts on what to expect after treatment?

[Guest guest]

Hi all.

So only has 5 shots left! Yay for him (and yay for me because I only

have to give him 5 more needles!)

He is feeling really crappy. Has zero energy and isn't sleeping well. He hasn't

been able to work through the whole thing, so it's been a rough go. All his

blood levels are low and the nurse says that's why he feels so crappy and now

he's starting to be a little more miserable. I'm sure it's just because we can

see the finish line, but it's taking forever to get there.

Anyway, my question is for those of you who've been through treatment ('s

is 48 weeks). How long after he stops taking the pills before he starts to feel

better? Is it possible to have a blood transfusion to kick start his levels and

hopefully increase his energy level? Did you guys do anything that helped with

your energy levels while you were on treatment?

I must say that I'm so thankful for the little advice of drinking gingerale or

ginger tea. His stomach was really upset and the ginger has really helped.

Thanks for listening!
