i just finished my 9th week of self injection. 18.75% done. 39 weeks go to.
if you count the 4 weeks of IV IFN, i’ve done 13 weeks, which is exactly 25% of the 52 weeks of treatment. of course, that doesn’t count my time on drug holidays. i started the IFN on June 16th (the day before I started this blog…) Which is 4+ months ago.
I have at least one month of drug holiday time in there. it feels like i was on holiday for more than that, though. i guess it was just one week in the IV IFN, two weeks in between IV and SubQ, and then two weeks when i got back from Banff and was super sick. I guess the first week back on the IFN felt like a holiday b/c I was only on a 10 MIU dose.
i was diagnosed on feb twenty-something. I got the first call on the 20th, but didn’t formally hear the words “you have cancer” until the 22nd. so that makes it 8 months i’ve been dealing with this.
I can’t believe its only been 8 months. it feels like its been at least a year ..
