31 January 2014 - Finished!

Well I did it. 48 weeks of triple therapy done.

I made it through without needing to take any sick leave. I work a three day week, I couldn't have worked full time, but three days was manageable.

My last viral load on treatment, taken at week 44, was undetectable. Still undetectable! Makes me want to do a little dance. Phew. It's all gone well.

By the end of treatment I was anaemic, neutropenic and something else who's name I can't remember.  No reason to think they shouldn't all recover now that treatment has stopped. My thyroid has made it through intact, for which I am very grateful.

I'm tired and low on energy. My motivation had got very low, I was living on ready meals and washing up twice a week by the end of treatment. I don't think I'd have managed without the anti-depressants keeping me stable.

Just the wait now - 12 weeks to find out if I'm clear. That's the end of April. Wish me luck!
