Hello,

I found out that I have Hep C; Geno type 1, a couple of years ago. Ive been treated with Interferon & Rivabavrin. The first time that I was treated (Second Doctor), my Hep C viral load actually increased while I was treating with, the two afore mentioned drugs. This second time, the same exact thing happened while I was treating and the doctor took me off the Hep C medicine and he told me that my white blood count was very low along with other Blood abnormalities. The first time that I treated, my doctor told me that I could have easily died. This second time (now), I got a second opinion and the doctor told me that I should consider becomming involved in the latest clinical trials. First they took a sample of my liver but told me that he couldn't tell me how much of my liver was actually in Cirrhosis, but informed me that an MRI and/or exploritary surgery would tell him anything that he didn't already know. I find this very hard to believe;

because if it were true than they could at least administer 1 of the 2 surgeries that I just mentioned. If what the doctor says is true? then he could at least administer an MRI or exploritary surgery to find out how much of my liver is already gone. I believe that they could at least one of these procedures to find out just exactly what the damage is already done to my liver. I think that the insurance companies refuse to pay for these tests because our lives aren't important enough to them for them to pay for the procedures mentioned. Can anyone tell me the percentage of people who have Geno type 1, were unsuccesful and have died from this? Also I need to find out what the symptoms are/were before these people passed away? The doctor who gave me this second opinion suggested that I should be involved with one of these clinical testing facilities.

Also, how can I find out what kind of shape my liver is actually in, if the insurance co. refuses to pay for any diagnostic testing to be done? I've been down this road before and its very likely, if not completely true that a proper diagnosis can't be reached unless or until one of these tests are done? If anyone knows the exact truth, would you be so kind as to tell me; what that is?? I already know what my 1st & 2d doctors said and I find them to be less than truthful. Also can anyone tell me how I can contact these clinical testing facilities and assist me to find one located in PA? I do have enough God given brains for me to know that, what these first two doctors told me is not true. I know that these tests could be administed, if the Insurance companies would pay for them?? I would take out a loan to be able to get these tests done, on me before I actually expire. There has to be something that I can do rather than just sit

here waiting for this virus to spread throughout my liver. If you can tell me, what the exact truth is, I would appreciate it very much. Thank You.

Jack.
