Guest guest Posted July 7, 2000 Report Share Posted July 7, 2000 Dear Mel, If there is any way for you to change doctors, can you? Is this a primary care, or a specialist? What ever he is, he is going to fight you every step of the way it sounds like. You could save yourself a lot of headaches by changing NOW. What ever you do, DON'T back down even one inch, this is your life you are talking about (certainly it's not his!). If you haven't had a biopsy. That should be your next step. I assume you haven't had one since you say, 'If I have cirrhosis'. Genotype 2's are the easiest to get rid of, 3's are next, then 4's, then 1a, then 1b. That is from the easiest to the hardest. There is compensated cirrhosis, and decompensated cirrhosis (or 'end-stage' liver disease). The National Institute of Healths guidelines for treatment state that anyone with cirrhosis should be evaluated individually to determine if treatment is indicated. With all the latest info on how interferon can help, and sometimes even reverse cirrhosis, I would be wanting treatment ESPECIALLY if I had cirrhosis. I can't stress enough how badly you need to find a different doctor! If you are NOT getting the tests you should be having now, and he's looking for reasons to NOT treat, I have to assume he is probably loosing money by doing these things, like Marty was explaining in a previous post on HMO doctors. You need a doc you cares about people in addition to his bank account. After a change in doctors your next step would be a biopsy, unless there are clear-cut indications that you have cirrhosis, which since he didn't even want to run the test to see if you have HCV I am assuming you don't. If that assumption is wrong, let me know. Feel free to e-mail me privately if you need to.
