A water park is a great place to take for days off, Water Slides,

Wave Pools, scantily clad women, its like a Harry Potter movie only real!

In Canada we have a huge water park, one at West Edmonton Mall, (a shameless

plug I add.) I have been told there is more Submarines (in The Waterpark)

than the entire Fleet, in our Royal Canadian Navy?) Ok, Submarines that

actually work again thanks for those Loaners you Brits pawned off on we

silly Canucks.

Now please continue the story about St , and his horse Trigger?

I was diagnosed in August 2005 with CML and was told that I needed to get off

birth control pills as soon as I could. I stayed on them for about 4 months

after I was dianosed until my husband got " fixed " Mayo Clinic told me not to go

off of them until we were sure that he tested negative but once he did to get

off of them. I didn't feel any different when I was on them to when I wasn't.

Hope this helps!

Hi ,

I am 30 and was dx in October. Prior to dx my husband and I were using

condoms and not realy concerned about having an 'oops'. After I was dx I asked

about the pill and I was told by my oncologist that the BCP was a no-no.

However, after continuing with condoms and living the roller-coaster for a few

months I told my oncologist that I was going on the pill. They were not happy

about my decision but I explained that my state of mind in not wondering about

an 'oops' was worth more than any problems the BCP may cause (I don't believe in

abortion for myself and didn't like the odds of conception on gleevec). I take

my BCP in the morning and my Gleevec at night so that they are as far apart in

my system as possible.

My understanding is that the concern with the pill is that it can enter the

liver and compromise the livers ability to handle both meds. I looked into

other options (IUD was the most tempting but I wasn't ready for the

complications it carried being surgury). I still hope that some day with the

miracle of modern medicine I will be able to have another child (I have a 2 year

old son) so I am not ready to have my husband or I steralized. Anyway, I

haven't noticed any major side-efects related to the pill and Gleevec...gleevec

came with it's own side-effects but none seem to be changed by going on the

pill.

Good luck,

Hi Pam,

I'm Judy and I live in Louisville, just across the bridge. We're neighbors!

I have auto immune hepatitis. It seems to be altogether different from the

other heps. I also have psoriatic arthritis which is another autoimmune

disease. I've been having a rough time accepting all these changes in my body

and

getting used to the immune suppressant medications I have to take.

If you want to communicate an possibly meet for coffee sometime I would like

that.

With the gas prices the way they are, maybe we can meet half way. If that

is something that you might want to do, let me know.

Thanks for the tip on the Tylenol. . My liver is very compromised right now

with quite a bit of damage. I knew not to take it but wondered what to do to

replace it. My doctor told me not to take anti inflammatories because the

prednisone would be doing that. I also am taking Imuran. I have been told to

be careful because my body will not fight colds, flu, viruses, ect. with my

immune system being lowered..

Judy,

Pam I guess it just depends on the doctor. Mine tells me to avoid aspirin like

poison but it is probably because treatment has lowered my platelets. It seems

all doctors are consistent they in having varying opinions ha! Dale

I hope that the news is good. I believe I got the result of

my biopsy before I went home the day I got it. I suppose it depends on

where you get it. Keep us posted -dz-

Hello, my hepC was found to be active just a couple of

months ago. No way of knowing just how long the

disease has actually been distroying my liver. My

doctor just told me yesterday that it must have been

busy for years,because my live is nearly at failure.I

am really scared,but my doctors have not much chance

for my survival. I guess that I should be making my

farewells to all that I know and love.

New doctor time it sounds like. I have heard that the liver is one of the

toughest organs and can function when 85% shoot. I've had this Hep C for at

least 28 years and for the most part it has been just sitting there and not

doing to much damage. Don't let the negatives of the doctor keep you from

finding the right help with your condition. It's out there. Dale

Kat, I think you need to get a second opinion right away. What tests did

they do to determine that you're in this condition?? I would be optimistic

and instead of saying your farewells, become offensive and fight - this

doesn't have to be a death sentence.

Hello Kat,

'DESPAIR' is a 'SIN'. First of all please understand that No war can be won,

what ever stocks of ammunition you have in your arsenel, if you have lost the

hope of win. You are diagonosed about two months ago. there are people who is

having this since decades. I was diagonosed about six months ago and the

doctor thinks that i am having since last 5 years. Liver is such an organ that

if there is one healthy tissue of liver in you that can regenerate the complete

liver.

Please note that the doctors sometimes over react to the disease, because as

per their theory, it is not cureable, although it is not so. millions of the

people have been cured. even so many people had been cured through herbs, to

which medical doctor don't believe. they thin k that there is only one

treatment, i.e. interferon or liver transplant. It is not so. I am improving

through hebs.

There is no need to desparate. i know a person who had two liver transplant

and now living normal life. It is up to you. If you would surrender, no force

can help you to overcome. So please be determined. You are a very powerful

human being, how can you be defeated at the hands of such a tiny virus? Noway.

Just lift yourself, Keep the morale high. Cheer up . Nothing will happen, You

will be all right. Just get the treatment seriously.

Please understand the theory, every human being has to die one day. The day is

not known to any body. some go in child hood, some in young age and mostly in

oldage. why to be frightened from a eternal reality. Death protects you more

than any thing. If its time has not come, no disease can harm you. Doctors do

not treat death, they treat diseases to make the quality of life better. Think

your time has not come, so you will be treated. Don't talk of desparation. Be

bold and fight. the success is yours. i wish and pray for your early recovery.

saleem.

I had mine at St. 's hospital in Green Bay. My doctor

then practiced there. There is a clinic attached to the hospital. I

got the results before I went home that day. I have since had to

switch doctors, because my company switched insurance. That sucks, but I

found a good doctor. My wife used to see him before she had to switch to

be covered under my insurance... Damn HMO's Keep us

posted. -dz-

Hello Dorothy, My doctors were very thourough,I have

been genotyped as Hepatitis C-1a. I had a liver biopsy

done a month and a half ago. The results showed that

my liver is at stage 4. Dr Gail Havorka was being as

kind as she could be when she told me that my disease

has been active for a very long time for it to be in

the condition it is.

Genotype 1a is rare and very hard to treat. She told

me that there is little chance that the interferon and

ribavirin will be able to kill off the virus that has

been attacking me for so long.She didnt come out and

say it ,so I did. " With or without the medications- I

don't have long do I? " and she nodded yes.

I got it from a blood transfusion in 1982.I first

found out about the antibodies in 1994. So as you see,

my condition is very poor.Hard to believe, I feel well

most of the time, I look good-my coloring is still

very pink-but I have been having the night sweats for

years.

My liver will not be able to repair itself. It is

too far gone. That is why I am making my farewells to

those I love. I may have just a few years left to me

and I want to do a few things

Kat

Dear Kat:

I am 1A and it is the most common in the United States from what I have been

told. It is also one of the most difficult to clear. I'm sure you have a very

good doctor but my doctor always tells me healing has a lot to do with a

positive attitude as much as it does medicine. Hang in there. Dale
