Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Good luck with the treatment . I was not on that one. But I am wondering if they are similiar? Hmmm, treatment was about the same as far as the side effects?

I have cirrhosis and 1-a. Treated in 2009 and was clear then it came back. Since then I have felt great, blood work fairly good, and somewhat low viral load. Went to the Liver doctor yesterday for my 3 month visit and he said it time! He wants me to start the new drug with the interferon and rib on October 20th. He said I am playing Russian roulette. I know I have about 25% liver function. I do take 5 medications a day and still have problems with retaining fluid. He has 10 people that are on the new drug....not Merek but the other one. It starts with a V........ He said he believes it will clear me. He said in June there was no information about relapsers so he wanted me to do the 11 months again but yesterday he said I could do just 6 months. Anyone on this treatment plan. I know the new drug can cause rashes but he said he is not having a problem with it with his other patients on it? I would love feedback.

Interesting new information. She has a new test on her blood panel to check the sub group of 1a. The new sub groups are cc tt and ct. The 1acc are responding best to the new medication. 1att responding the worst and the 1act are hit and miss. That's all I know about it and we are still waiting for the response but thought I would share that. ShayneSent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
