Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 We have a charity hospital here in our area ... But I have not checked to see if they will cover the medications. My doctor told me about a clinic to check into as well. He said they can monitor me but not sure about the treatments. I am trying trust me. And the more research I do the better I will understand this. I have not given up on the phone calling everywhere ..But it does get discouraging. The worst that could happen to me is giving up.. something I will not do =) ..

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think I've tried them all. The problem is it's not regulated and you don't know what fillers are in them. I've been on 6 Natures Own, for sometime now and seem to feel stronger even though blood work is showing cancer now. but it's taken 30 years and I could have been run over by a bus, died scuba diving, bit by poisioness spiders in the jungles. Lifes a gamble. Just enjoy and don't worry.  Patti  fo From: angeliquekeeler <angelique2230@...> Subject: Re: Just Diagnosed Hepatitis C Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 12:53 PM > > > > > > From: emily <emily_sweethang@ sbcglobal. net> > > > Subject: Re: Just Diagnosed > > > Hepatitis Csupportgr oupgroups (DOT) com > > > Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:47 PM > > > > > > Nilda, > > > > > > You got it. your right on track. support and reaching out is hard but it works.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Patti, As a nurse who assisted with giving blood transfusions. Normal hemoglobin for women is 10-12. If it goes under 8 that is usually when we would give it. I got one in 92 after miscarraige my hemoglobin was 5.8 I was so cold and short of breath and very nauseated. So it can vary but the norm they usually transfuse if the hemoglobin is under 8. Now plasma and platelet transfusions are different. I have given plasma transfusions to cancer patients when I worked with hospice. I also gave factor 8 which they usually give for hemophilia patients. So I need to brush up and I will try to do that about the plasma ( have not worked in hospital setting in over 10 years) I am training nurse aides now and doing medicare billing (yuck!) But this job works for me with the hep C but I will try to look up in my lab book or better yet you always have the right to call your nurse at your md office or better yet make your doctor tell you lol. God bless ya. I hope you dont have to have a transfusion hon. Just Diagnosed > > Hello > > My name is Donna and I am 49 yrs old. I was in the hospital last week for chest pains...
