Hello

[Guest guest]

It sounds like things are going well- I always find it a releif to get away

from noxious people!

I work from home myself- telephone customer service and just started taking

calls. No nasty coworkers when I work from home.

Hey again Group!!

I popped back around and lurked here for awhile!! Now I have a question and a

bit of catch up.

I've been on the Clinical Trial for the new Trio coming down the pipe soon and

only have 6 weeks left!! It appears that at least at the DNA level I am

negative for the virus.

However, I was also told in late October, that there is a good possibility that

I have developed HCC. I've tried very hard not to think about it much and just

get through to SVR with the virus. Then, today, I was called to confirm another

Cat Scan in January regarding the tumors that have been seen. It's just

starting to make it all to real!!

If this indeed comes to confirmation that the tumors are growing, are they going

to want to do yet another biopsy in those two areas or actually cut to my liver

to confirm??

Also, this time (2nd) on treatment, I had an extremely difficult time with my

emotions. Sure, we can blame it on the Riba Rage; but, it doesn't make it any

easier to live with. I was already on Celexa as an anti-depressant, then had

that upped to taking a 20mg and a 40 mg each day. Still, I came very near

having a break down!! Finally my Dr. put me on a Happy Pill (Wellbutrin). I

hate all of this; however, I know of no other way to get through the days...

I'm not generally a depressed person; however, between the meds and the

rejection by some family members, I was definitely at the end of my rope.

Would just seem to me that I would rather they didn't have to cut me to test the

tumors, since we all hear such horror stories about the air getting to cancer.

Then again, I don't know if it's even possible to do a guided biopsy to those

two spots.

Thanks for any help - Gloria

hi gloria, i am sorry you have had such a hard time, treatment didnt worked for

my husband peg. and riba. he had to stop per dr. i think these treatments might

cure some peoples virus but also dystoys something else. seems to me they should

be able to do a guided byopsy, we do have the technology i would think, when you

said the cancer/air thing i gasped, is that really true??!! bobby glenn has

always insisted his mother died because when the dr. opened her up to get a

tumor out of her leg ,the air spread the cancer and he killed her. he was only

15 when she died so i thought he was just a kid mis-hearing the adults. i guess

he was right? i am praying you recieve good news after this next scan in jan.

,sorry you have been so sad ,but remember we are all here for you no matter when

or why you need us!!! all my love barby, keep us posted please

Hi Gloria:  Keep me posted on the story with your tumors, and I will let you

know all the latest about my husband's too.  When we meet with the transplant

team Monday I guess we will discuss what to do next.  Jackie

Wow!  It sounds like travel is difficult for you.  Does someone take you to

your dr. appointments, or do you drive yourself?  I hope you are able to have

someone with you.  I can imagine how difficult it must be to go it alone.

I think that I am extremely fortunate to have been picked for this clinical

treatment even though I don't live in Vancouver itself. Yes, any day that I had

to go over to Vancouver and that includes a ferry ride, because I live on the

big island off the coast, would take us a minimum of 12 hours. However, for

whatever reason, a whole lot of people seem to want to flock over here to the

island on the weekends and don't seem to mind paying the exorbitant cost for it.

So, it was entirely possible to miss a ferry and have to wait another two hours

for the next one.

Yes, I have always had somebody with me for all those trips. Mostly my husband;

but, even my mother or a cousin/friend. Needless to say, hubby will have to

come for these next trips coming up next year. In the beginning, there was no

chance at all I could do the trip alone! I would get so tired even before we

would leaving Vancouver, that I set up a bed in the back of our SUV. That way I

could sleep on the way home.

I do better now; but, still could not do it totally alone!! I need someone to

at least talk non-stop too so that I pay attention to the highway.

Hi Gloria, it's good to see you back but I'm sorry to hear of the tumors. I have

no knowledge to impart but I wish you success in reaching SVR. I admire anyone

who is willing to go thru the H^^L that can come with tx. I was offered the

clinical trial you're on but tis not for me. I hope the Wellbutrin will help.

I've heard good things about it. Best wishes~~~Debbie
