A message from a member at another HCV Grp. Re: bx's labs ESLD their experiences

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. Thought I would touch base. Things are fine with Vic & I...other than the fact he's turning 50 in a few days! I've recently had my LFT's done; all normal again, as usual. However, the pcr was lost during the health care strike.My best friend did her first shot over the weekend. A few years ago, we encouraged her to get tested, and with all her symptoms, etc, treatment was advised. Vic has been a great help to her, since he's done treatment twice.Another friend of ours finally got tested, and then a biopsy. Unfortunately, he is ESLD. They are assessing him for treatment now. I'd like to add...his LFT's showed as high normal the first 2 times. Then, they sky-rocketed, which is why the biopsy was ordered. This is a good reminder that LFT's are not always a clear indication of what's going on. Some of you will recall that Vic's LFT's were

high normal. He has cirrhosis. Although I might not post here as often as I once did, I am still very active locally, with our friends who are battling hepc. Take care everyone.Doris
