Find some inspiration.


This is Chrissy, she inspires me everyday of my therapy. She finished her tx not so long ago, 48 long weeks of medication, fighting exactly the same type of virus, the same genotype. Chrissy didn't get any of the nasty side effects of treatment and luck was nothing to do with it. She is a very active person, always on the move, always doing something - cooking, cleaning, helping people etc. Before she started treatment Chrissy was training to run a marathon and had to put it on hold because of the virus. Just like me, Chrissy is a vegetarian, she loves porridge, fish and cherry scones! Her attitude to life is something to be admired, she loves life and people and that's what makes her very special.
It's so important to have an inspiration while you are on treatment, somebody to look up to, a person that achieved what you want to achieve, someone who was in a similar position some time ago.
Chrissy completed her 48 weeks of therapy, she found new friends, a new partner, turned her life around and currently is awaiting that magical SVR. My fingers crossed for you, Pixie!
