Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 That's great news Dave! Wow, I wish my Hep C would decide to just slink away. Last tested mine was at 14.5...whatever that means. I'm anxious to see a real Hepatologist on the 25th at Shands ( a teaching hospital ) in Gainesville, Fl. I'm even kind of hoping he will suggest a biopsy ( though not sure I'd do it ) because sometimes I think if it was bad news then maybe I could put all " this " in better perspective and be more active about taking care of my health or maybe it would be good news and I could sure use some of that. Anyway, CONGRATS and hope all is good with the bloodwork...Best wishes~~~Debbie > > Less than 1%, if I researched correctly, spontaneously shed the Hep C virus without treatment..I am one of them according to my hepatologist. For two yrs. now the Hep C has been undetectable. I have had a hepatic vein thrombosis aka blood clot's in the portal vein that are now history. My MEL score is at 8 as of last blood work, Doc. says 16 for transplant..varices alone not determining factor for him unless uncontrollable bleeding..same with as-cites..tells me to keep on keeping on with what I am doing. As of now doing very well, he says. Real tell will be the blood work I did Friday last. Hoping for acceptable levels of ammonia, bilirubin, carotene, etc. Still am chronic Hep B carrier. And have as-cites, controllable by medication and by current diet, varices, and cirrhosis. Looks like I'm going to prove the doc's that gave me 5 yrs., 4 yrs. ago, wrong. My Hepatologist never gave me a time line, though. He is the > man...peace and comfort,Dave > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
