i just finished my 9th week of self injection.\u00c2\u00a0 18.75% done.\u00c2\u00a0 39 weeks go to.<\/p>\n
if you count the 4 weeks of IV IFN, i’ve done 13 weeks, which is exactly 25% of the 52 weeks of treatment.\u00c2\u00a0 of course, that doesn’t count my time on drug holidays.\u00c2\u00a0 i started the IFN on June 16th (the day before I started this blog…)<\/a> Which is 4+ months ago.<\/p>\n I have at least one month of drug holiday time in there.\u00c2\u00a0 it feels like i was on holiday for more than that, though.\u00c2\u00a0 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.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess the first week back on the IFN felt like a holiday b\/c I was only on a 10 MIU dose.<\/p>\n i was diagnosed on feb twenty-something.\u00c2\u00a0 I got the first call on the 20th, but didn’t formally hear the words “you have cancer” until the 22nd.\u00c2\u00a0 so that makes it 8 months i’ve been dealing with this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" i just finished my 9th week of self injection.\u00c2\u00a0 18.75% done.\u00c2\u00a0 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.\u00c2\u00a0 of course, that doesn’t count my time on drug holidays.\u00c2\u00a0 i started the IFN on June 16th … Continue reading 39 weeks to go…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[20,52,11,5,42],"class_list":["post-152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-update","tag-diagnosis","tag-endurance","tag-interferon","tag-memory","tag-self-injection"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/melanarrative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
