The Grade is the amount of inflammation, the Stage is the amount of fibrosis. So at this point you have very little damage! Congratulations! I'm sure your other daughters will come back negative also. So I assume from what you've been saying that your family is taking the news pretty well?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 Claudine, Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, the familly has taken it fine. My oldest daughter knew. I guess I left a letter from the Dr. office laying around which she read. I even told them I probablly got it back some 30 years ago when I was their age and did something very stupid. Experimented with IV drugs. Of course my 15 year old...... " and you said you never even smoked pot " Hopefully this will be a good lesson for them. I've been keeping up with my messages. I'm reading with interest the progress with you . Hope you are feeling ok. Also Pat. 0-kill! Man, I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle this. I start treatment on the 6th of Sept. Good thing I didn't start last Monday. Hubby brings home 3 cases of tomatoes and 2 cases of peaches for me to can after work. Lately I've been feeling increased flu-like symptoms. Nausia, diareha, tired......irritable. Time for treatment. BYW....something said about stoping treatment once started is not a good thing. What if you can't tolorate the sides? Well, gotta go......Dee Dee >From: claudine intexas <claudineintexas@...> >Reply-Hepatitis Cegroups >Hepatitis Cegroups >Subject: Re: biopsy results >Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 08:42:12 -0700 (PDT) > > >--- Dee Dee <deetaylor76@...> wrote: > > Hi All, > > My test results came back as Grade 2, stage 1.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Dear Jenn, That is great news! Yes, definitely wait for a pegylated with ribavirin or other 'helper' drug. The sides are supposed to be so much easier, and the success rate is so much better. By the time you have your blood work rechecked in 6 months the new pegs should be available, and hopefully with ribavirin too. You certainly don't need to rush into anything! Congratulations!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Jenn great news! My biopsy was very mild inflamation, but like you I had awful hep symptoms - joint pain, achy muscles, insomnia, major fatigue - and so decided to do treatment knowing that if it was too much for me, I could quit without serious consequences. I'm a 1b so if my 6th mo pcr is negative I go another 6 months (I'm waiting on those results now). After my first interferon shot, I felt great! It took away my joint pain and muscles aches. I'm still tired, and at my 5th mo I had to increase my anti depressant, but I didn't realize how much I really did hurt from the hep till I started treatment and got some relief. I was scared to death to do combo, but now I'm glad I did. Goes to show you, just never know how the combo will treat you alley/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
