I have my first labs scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving so FINGERS CROSSED I will get some good early Christmas news! :D I hope everyone else is doing well on their treatments and wish you all the happiest upcoming holidays and wishing even more that we are all cured soon <3

Matt, I just want to say you have a wonderful attitude and are a great addition to this forum community. Even though you have had a setback, you are rooting for others. I'm rooting for you, and I'm sure others are, too.

Moz I'm so happy you don't have the rage or exhaustion. Considering the things I was going through pre/treatment I feel blessed also. Good luck on your labs. I'm waiting for mine today.

Guitar player - best of luck on the new treatment. I don't think there's a person here who hasn't feared relapse. But we have to keep on fighting. And the meds are getting more effective and more tolerable. Best of luck
