wow, I've been missing but where is everyone?

Wow. I knew I had not been posting here or reading for that matter but I see no

posts since Feb??? I am Beckyray, I have done two rounds of treatment. First

eight years ago PegIntron and Ribovirin and this last year the Pegasis and

Ribovirin. I am still not clear of the virus..don't recall the viral load but

not that good. Good in that it reduced it but that is not much really the Dr

said as it will simply go back up. I am in the middle range of the cirrhosis I

think she said. Not too sick but its there. I was told we would start the new

treatment that was released this past spring or summer but not til after the Drs

conference on new treatment in Nov. My Dr.has heard that the new treatments is

great but if it doesn't work it may make you immune to any future treatments

with that family of meds. She said I only have a thirty percent chance of it

working anyway. But we are game if it is not going to make me unable to use

future discoveries. I am bipolar the type that stays Hyper or manic most of the

time but the treatments make me go the other way. I was lucky this last time as

it went well with the psych meds. The first time I stopped all of them and ended

up a mess. I made it through twenty six weeks I think it was and lost a lot of

hair..got the gift of curls after the new grew in though..wonderful gift. I feel

a bit better physically but know the day will get here that I will not feel so

well. I wondered if any of you have tried the newest treatment? I don't know

what it is called but it was just released this year. I don't know if she will

run me through it or not after the conference but I hope so. I want this gone. I

am fifty three and have three grandkids who will be underage for the next ten

years that I am raising. I need my health.

Well, just tossing this out there to see if anyone is about. Beckyray in
