Will someone please write my mother a letter?

[Guest guest]

i am basically her caregiver. she is in her 80's and very frail. when she sees

me feel lathargic or if i sleep a lot or i have stomachcramps from the treatment

or a dozen other things concerned with therapy she wants me to stop. not because

i'm not taking care of her but because she sees me feel bad. the last few days

have been bad for me and i anticipate a few more bad days ahead but, jeebus

krist, i only have 4 shots to go. i try my best to be strong for her and don't

want her to worry but sometimes it's not in me.

i know the stats about my kind of hep c and know i am probably as cured as i

ever will be and it wouldn't probably hurt a thing if i threw away my last box

of pegysys and my last bottle of ribivirin but how can i make the trade of

easing my mothers mind for an additional 4 weeks or facing a future of looking

at beeping machines and wishing i had done the last 4 weeks?

you don't really need to write a letter. i just needed to vent.
