Jane,You just made me so happy for so many reasons. I am glad that you are going to insist on a biopsy. I had one before tx started and we knew just where we stood. They were able to tell exactly how long I had the virus from that little jab. It's not painful, if it is you don't know it cause they sedate you pretty well. You are awake but you really don't care about anything... I got really lucky with mine and had an eye candy doc doing that too! I just kept smiling at him the whole time! And I think the drugs they give you are truth serum so I even told him just how good looking he was! He did tell

me to stop drooling at one time! Then we started laughing and he had a needle in my liver! Your take on our silver linings has made my heart happy. Truly. This was something that Steve and I had talked about offline in regards to the friends we had made thru this whole process and how good it feels to help the folks that are where we were at one time. I love paying it forward and without Hep C, I'd have never known this feeling. I actually spend hours upon hours every day doing exactly what I do on this group. Help people pull thru and not quit. I have to tell you that it feels good to give back. I'm glad we were able to touch your heart with these... I promise there is an upside to all of this pain... it's there. I have proof!Hugs,Teri From: Jane

I am going to take everyone's advice and call tomorrow and insist on a liver biopsy. I have wanted one from the beginning but not really pushed the issue. I would truly like to know exactly where I stand with no guessing. Thanks.....

On another note I have read all the writings on "Silver Linings" it is amazing to me that all of you have gone through so much pain and heartache whether it has been through the pain of treatment or life's pain and struggles and you all are an inspiration to those like me who are just starting the journey. I have shed a thousand tears reading your stories and as I read I thank God for each and every one of you. Silver Linings could not have come at a better time for me, it is giving me the faith back that I once belived in but my anger was doubting even existed. You are a group of the most amazing friends I have ever met and I know God sent me to this group for a reason, he knew I needed your support, your knowledge and your experiences.

THANK YOU GODTHANK YOU HepC WebWarriors
