While undergoing interferon treatment my family and I moved into my moms very busy house. Through the middle and end of my treatment most of my responsibilities as a Mother where past on to my mother and sisters. This situation added to my stress and feelings of depression. I remember thinking that the time I had lost with my daughter would never be recouped , and that our relationship would be some what damaged forever.
After moving into our own home and being a full time mother to my little girl again, I am assured that the time I spent sick, will create more positive for my little girl than I was able to see in a cloud of interferon induced depression. I can compare the experience of interferon to that of child birth, I know that it was very very painful, but I cant remember the pain. I still have not ventured to the lab to have blood taken for my final test. I think I am really letting myself fully heal emotionally, so I can truly be prepared for the results.
