Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Rob, That's excellent news! Thank you for bothering to share it with us. I wish you all the best in all the rest. Be well, Sally EXCEPTIONALLY good news! I just got off the phone with my GI doctor, I have tested negatively for hep c. I jotted down a few things, the test he ordered for me was a riba type, much more accurate than the standard test my primary care doc gave me. There is no sign of the virus in my body whatsoever. All of the liver functions were normal too. Thanks for all your support and I wish all of you all the best in your treatments and recovery.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Given my past lifestyle, I'm very sympathatic to people with all sorts of problems. I learned a lot about HCV, never knew how devastating it was, thanks to all of you for sharing with me and for the support.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 OK, I'll hang around this group for a while. Maybe I can learn more and help a few others out that have had a close call as I did. Rob > I just got off the phone with my GI doctor, I have tested negatively > for hep c.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have never heard of a riba type test, can you explain that more rob? I have had the heptimax which is supposedly the lowest test, down to 2-5 iu/ml.. if there is something lower, I want to know about it,,Rob <leftturn49@...> wrote: I just got off the phone with my GI doctor, I have tested negatively for hep c.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Excellent idea Rob. You are not the first member this has happened to. And most folks come in here scared and uncertain of what is going to happen. Then they find out news such as yours. You can help those who are going through that emotional roller coaster.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've also read some scary numbers on people having both HIV and HCV. I would have not guessed that HCV was so " popular " . I'm going back for another blood test as a follow up in a few of months, as a suggestion from the GI doc. Rob > > I just got off the phone with my GI doctor, I have tested negatively > > for hep c.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thanks Janet, it was a tough month for sure. I'll stick around, I'm having another follow up blood test in a few months anyway. Rob > OK, I'll hang around this group for a while.
