I Alma...nice to see you here today. :) I'm sorry that you have to go through such a long treatment but I'm glad to see your status is that you're doing good today. Hopefully, December will arrive before you know it but, in reality, I know the closer we get to the end the slower time seems to go. I'm about 10 weeks post treatment and I'm doing really well. I will have my 12 week post treatment VL in 2 weeks. Fingers crossed.

How are you these days???
Congrats
I'm in the same boat, but I did peg 2x in the same week (lost my focus) it made me nutz! really it can do that to you. they took me off for a while, viral load exploded and finally put back on. vl is down and my doctor says the plan is to keep me on peg for one year AFTER vl becomes undetectable. not there yet. good luck to both of us!

I’m With You
het, just to let you know hep c comes back after liver transplant, always! peg+ rivo are the only treatment to cure or at least keep it under control. whatever you do don't take the peg twice in 1 week. I did and went nuts! I,m ok now and focused again. most liver transplants are caused by hep c and new liver is not a cure, it just buys us time hopefully lots of it. I,m at 15 months so I,m already a head of the game, we all are
I’m With You
Good luck, it worked for me, side effects the same, thank goodness for procrit and nupoegen, stay positive and hang tough, great news, wishing you the best, spotteee

Close Hepatitis C
I contracted Hep C about 30 yrs ago through a blood transfusion. Didn't know I had the virus until ~10 yrs ago.On Oct 31 2007 I had a liver transplant. My wonderful daughter gave me part of her liver.I started on Peg-Intron on Fri & the side effects were minimal, had a slight fever & headache all day Sat but other than that I felt fine. I haven't started on Ribavirin yet. The doc is waiting until my WBC & hemaglobin counts increase. I'm on Procrit to help bring my hemaglobin up.
