Sometimes it is really hard watching him go through this. He's still dizzy and short of breath a lot. On top of that, and the nausea, he is now experiencing numbness in his leg.
The hep c treatment is taking its toll on him emotionally as well. He is starting to get irritable and really frustrated. I just hope he can push himself through this. I know it is really hard for him, but I keep thinking of the possible prize at the end.
Today is the first day of week 5. He had his second blood test yesterday. The doctor ordered a CBC, CMP, Thyroid test, and HCV quantitative to get a base viral load. (I would imagine most doctor's would order the baseline prior to starting treatment. But my husband's doctor didn't expect him to get the medicine as quickly as he did, and Steve wound up starting the treatment before the doctor ordered the HCV quantitative.)
