Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 tallin - its okay to be scared, especially upon initial diagnosis - having a computer will help so much for gathering information --the elevated something or other was either your liver panel or viral load, i am guessing- they may suggest a biopsy to see what damage, if any, has been done - you may have caught this early - i too was recently diagnosed in august with biopsy showing damage and i still have positive attitude, but believe me - i was one scared puppy when told - anytime u want to talk - email me rpt@...
