Hi , I am currently in my first week of injections after doing the four week high dosage. I still have bad side affects on the injections however I am told these can subside. I too will see how long I can take it because I have a 3 year old daughter and husband who works shift work. I have been asking about whether there is any evidence to suggest doing the 48 weeks is any more beneficial than just having the 4 weeks high dosage. It is still very hard and I am also suffering depression as a side affect. It is warming to hear that people have made their own decision about what is right and works for them and their family. I have suffered terribly with interferon side affects.

Hi All,

I have still not made my decision regarding the injections. Tomorrow is day one of week two. It is a very hard decision to make. However for the time being I am going to ask my oncologist and see what his opinion is – I live in the country and my Oncologist has to do every thing over the phone through the chemo nurse. I am suffering but I don't know if the suffering is bearable tolerable or not – my head is so unclear (because of the interferon) I can't think straight. Anyway I really appreciate peoples stories as it gives me an idea how things are travelling. Thank you.
