    Whew made it a year.  I am complete with this and not had a reoccurance.  So happy to be done.  It was the worst thing medically I have ever done. I have never been so sick. And I would do it again.

    Now we wait and see if the cancer comes back.

      Congratulations. I know how tough it can be . This November will be a year since I completed interferon. It took a couple months for me to really start feeling normal again.

      Congratulations!! I stayed on interferon for only 6 months, and I agree that it was the hardest thing medically I had ever done! Nothing before or since has equalled the difficulty. You should definitely celebrate as soon as you are feeling beter. It took me abt a month before I started feeling like the fog of symptoms was clearing. You deserve a medal for finishing 🙂     . Again…….. congratulations!!
