Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 If you did tx only a year ago, I'm guessing you already did the Peg combo and not the old stuff. Right? My recommendation is to see what the new biopsy shows, and if it's progressing, think about trying your 24 weeks on the off-season when maybe you can cut back to 8 hour days. Do you just cover the store or do you do installs, too? De Faith is the ability to not panic. -----Original Message-----From: Gail Deveaux [mailto:gaila@...] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 8:11 PMHepatitis CSupportGroupForDummies Subject: RE: Update Normally for your genotype,you need 24wks of treatment for it to remain successful and there is a high percentage of success with your genotype if treatment is completed.You will problably be put on a diferent type of treatment because the virus will have built up and immunity to the last treatment.A lot of the treatments they have right now aren't as bad as a took in 98-99 because it is only one shot a wk now and 3 to 5 tablets a day.You should do better on the new treatments.Take care and good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 No I'm actually in the sales. In my dept. we do the home improvements ( glassrooms, carports, screenrooms, and pool enclosures) so my part really doesn't have an off season. But during the winter months we are a little slower. I did the combo tx once a week with 6 tablets of whoop a-- a day. After much discussion with my extremely better half I pretty much decided that I won't do another biopsy for at least a year, which will make 2 since the last one. I really don't think that I'll do the tx again. I am still( after almost a yr.) trying to get over the last bout of tx. I'll let you know what the Dr. has to say after I meet with him Friday afternoon.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I can see the wisdom in 2 years between biopsies. We will support your dicision, whatever it is. Prayers for the doc visit.
