Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi Folks ~~ Well...I'm making progress toward starting tx...they have ordered my medications and are waiting for the insurance approval. If everything goes as we hope, I will start on January 2nd. Things might be a little delayed due to the holidays, but I hope not. They left the choice of which medication that I wanted to use up to me. I chose the Pegasys/Copegus combo because of the pre-measured doses. I thought I might do better with that. They will do a viral load check at 4 weeks and if I am responding then they will continue...if not, they will discontinue tx. If they continue, they will be looking for a 2 log drop by 12 weeks to continue. It is likely the tx will be 6 months since I am a genotype 2, but they determine everything based on your response to tx. I got my initial lab work back (the vampires took 9 vials!) and everything is great except of course the HCV. Oh yeah, I have to redo the Hep B vaccines because apparently the first series didn't develop antibodies for me. They haven't gotten the viral load test back yet. So now I can be about the business of enjoying the holidays. Last Monday was my 50th birthday, for which my husband spoiled me thoroughly. Tomorrow is the family birthday party. So the holidays are off to a good start. Merry Christmas to all, Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
