Everyone is a little different. I had to stop Interferon treatments after 7 months because of a problem I developed with my left eye from the Interferon. I have had several laser treatments since then but the problem never corrected after almost 2 years. Some people have very minimal side affects.

Hi Courtney, 

I started Interferon treatment in March 2013. My 1st 4 treatments were at the cancer center but from week 5 I did them at home. The injection itself is not painful at all, a very small gauge needle. If you ask 10 people that have been down that road you would get 10 differnt responces because it seems to afect everyone differnt. Another man and I were in the treatment area and started week 1 together. As we progressed his only side affect was that he was tired. For me I suffered with the worst headaches I have ever had. They would last about 6 days after every treatment, just when I was feeling half way decent, it was time for the next treatment. This is a battle we are waging and battle is never easy. I only lasted 6 months because I developed interferon induced retinopathy, I had a blind spot in my left eye. The doctors were hopeful that it would correct itself, but it has not. 

I hope you can find support as you go through this; family, friends your church. Good luck and God bless.
