One Week to Go!

Don has been plugging away at this 48 week treatment since he began last April. I remember thinking when he started the treatment that these 48 weeks would fly by - boy was I wrong!! Time seems to have stopped, especially in the last six weeks - but we are finally here with one week of treatment left. Don has done remarkably well, avoided any hospital visits, and has even avoided any non-scheduled visits with the doctor. That's not to say any of this has been easy and I would not wish it on anyone, but, how wonderful it will be if he can retain a zero viral load and be free of the HepC virus. We will know in July (officially in September) if the treatment has worked. The doctor is very confident that Don's treatment has been successful and we all enjoy a nice celebration when we get that news!! We were able to take a vacation in September and Don did very well. We flew to Colorado but I called it our driving vacation because we drove all over Denver, Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park,and Mt. Evans Scenic Byway, but we did not get out of the car. We saw such beautiful sites and can't wait to go back once Don's energy returns!
