Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi , You've found a good group. There are people onboard who have been through treatment successfully and there are some for whom the treatment has failed. There are peole who have done treatment and some who have choosen to go the herbal route. I did 24 weeks of 3 shots per week and 6 pills per day. Current treatment is 1 shot per week and a weight-based dose of pills. Doing 3 shots per week does not give your body much time to recover before getting the next shot. I lived through it without missing any work. One of the most important aspects of treatment is your mental attitude, try to keep things Sunny Side Up!! A good support group helps also. Try to find one near you. Both Schering and Roche, the companies who make the drugs, have 24/7 help lines available for patients. You will find their links under the Links Tab on the left side of this group's homepage. My favorite website for printed information is www.hcvadvocate.org. Alan and his staff are constantly updating and adding material to the site. Glenn > > Hello, > I am new to your website and I think it will be very helpful to me. Recently I was diagnosed with hep c. I haven't found out what type I have yet. I am also waiting for my results from my biopsy. It will be nice to have people share how they handled treatment. I am very nervous about that. I have a full time job and have never called in sick for the 4 years that I have worked there. I would like to know how they handled treatment and maybe it's not as bad as what I have heard. Well that is my story so far. Just waiting til Friday to see the dr. and probably start treatment at that time. > Thanks, > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
