Alpha 2a...Alpha2b

[Guest guest]

Hiya group, Well, my husband is a non-responder, so they're giving him a few months to re-build his blood and get all of the drug out of him, re-test him for viral load again and introduce him to Pegasys. Same darned drug yet one is alpha 2a...one is alpha 2b. He was detectable at 24 weeks...yet at 12 weeks he had over a 2 log drop. So...here we go again, but at least we are prepared for sides etc. He undergoes his 3rd Gastroscope for varicies on Thursday, we're thankful we've had NO episodes with the varicies, just banding. We should hear this week about his spot as they did the gamma scan which was negative and then they did the angiogram with Lipidol, so we're waitng for the scan to return. Please keep your fingers crossed as that is a 2cm spot on his liver. Just thought I'd give an update on us.... Hugs,

Hi , I guess the good news so far is that he gets a break from treatment. I'm wondring if his doctors do anything to promote liver health. Have they given him any suggestions on eating better, what to eat and what not to eat. I assume they have told him to stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking, drink lots of water. But anything else??? Are there any prescription drugs, or OTC stuff that his doctor suggests? I know there are lots of things out there, but I'm currious if his doctor knows/believes/reccomends anything. My best, Eat well, sleep well, be well! Wolfgang <ifonlyouknew@...> wrote: Hiya group, Well, my husband is a non-responder, so they're giving him a few
