Starting tx and very scared

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

I am starting my tx on Friday, July 4th and have to say that I am a

little freaked out by it. I just got my injections in the mail and it

has really kicked in that this is finally going to happen. I had a

liver biopsy done last year and I was a stage 3 grade 3, but due to

getting over another medical illness I couldn't go on treatment until

I finished my antibiotics. So here I am. I go though the class

tomorrow afternoon to learn about giving myself the shot, and then see

my Stanford liver doc right after that. I will do the shot right

before bed on Friday night. My geno is 1a and 1b, and my viral load

is about 7 million. I am on 1200mg Ribavarin and Pegasys once a week.

I have been reading the site for awhile and know that there is some

incedible support here, and am certain that I need to be a part of the

group. I have joined up with a hep c support group too in my

neighborhood that was recommended to me. I have read to drink plenty

of water and get some exercise so I know to do that, any other

suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
