Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Claudine, We'll we had his apt. today and all looks pretty good so far. His biopsy results showed no permanent damage, some scar tissue no cancer. His count is over 1 million though with a Geno type 3a as you know. He is going to start pegylated treatments in 6 weeks. He recently started with some herbs including milk thistle, and is now on a low-fat diet. What do you all think about milk thistle? He also takes a pill called liver cleanse. He also is on a multi-vit,ester c and vit-e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi , I'm glad you decided to write in! Good luck with the biopsy results. And yes, genotype 3 has a pretty good response rate, so your husband is lucky in that area. With the new pegylated interferons and ribavirin he stands a great chance of success with treatment. Let us know his results. Good luck to you both, Claudine __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
