It's hard to believe nine weeks have passed in a flash when the previous 48 weeks seemed to take forever.
The results of the biopsy on my forehead only showed some sun damage (well, he gave it a long name, but that's what he meant). He said if there had been a fungal or bacterial infection it had gone. All I know is that since I stopped applying their creams and finished my treatment it has disappeared on its own. Well, it is just visible but I can live with that.
The results of the ultrasound scan showed nothing untoward either and my blood test gave the ALT a reading of 19, which is promising for an undetectable result in January.
My weight has stabilised and stopped increasing, thank goodness. I still have the achey bones in my ankles which prevent me from walking too much and I get the occasional headache, which I never got before tx. I still get tired when i try to do too much, but I have learnt to recognise the signs now and I just slow down a bit. I'll never learn my limits because its human nature to try to do as much as possible!
My hair has just started to grow again and I see that posh spice has copied my crop, albeit hers is a different colour to mine!
I am now taking a daily supplement of vitamin b and milk thistle to help support the liver, I still drink plenty of water and herbal teas. I try to eat as much fruit and vegetables as I can everyday. I eat fish again but it still doesn't taste quite as good as it did before treatment. Sadly, there is still no way I could play a round of golf just yet, but I'm still optimistic I will be back playing in the springtime.
