Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Hi All, I was hoping someone had one of the most recent studies that recommends 12 months over 6 months of treatment, or is there some new information out about the time frame? I have a friend that wants to only do six months, and as I remember even with the less tenacious genotypes 12 months was still recommended.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Holland is so far advanced in so many things. I would have loved to have done 18 months of tx....even though I am a non responder, my viral load dropped considerably during tx. And since I handled tx well, it wouldn't have bothered me to stay on it for an additional 6 months. Might have kept me my job too...I don't think they could have laid me off were I still on tx. I was on tx during the first two rounds of layoffs and even though they laid off all the people I worked for, I was moved to another group...and I think it was due to legal issues since I was on tx. Willem....want to get married so I can immigrate to a civilized country? <g> Blessings Tatezi willem landstra wrote: > Hi.Recent studies in Holland,AMC-Hospital Amsterdam,Dr.Weegener,shows > that 1 yr. of treatment has better results then six-months.1 yr. is > the standard now and my Doc wants me to do 18 months.{Peg-combo).I > will try to get the study and send it to the group. > Six months vs twelve months > -- If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Hi Willem I'm so glad Holland is so advanced, 100% over Canada....I think you being on treatment for 18 months is a very good, positive step. Good luck to you.
