Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Thanks everyone for your responses. It's great to know you value my posts. I'll keep sharing my "finds". I have a feeling there will be some really good ones coming up in the next few months!
Hugs and stuff IMK :^)

Morning Kramer, reading your info that you post gives me hope!!
And hope is a good thing" Andy DuFraine" Shawshank Redemption!!!
I started tx on Nov.30th. HCV 1a. I'm on triple w/ Incivek. I was clear
at 4weeks. Really I think I was clear at 2. Just my own feeling. What
I like about the new stuff coming down the pipe is, When I complete
this & I'm clear 6mo. 1year, 2years? And it happens to come back
there is hope for another Tx that's not so freakin' intense. So thanks
my friend!!!

Please do keep posting and keeping us informed--- i am week 10 on triple.... terrified of failure, and it is good to know what lies ahead if that happens. also i am on 48 weeks and i imagine many of you starting the new 12 week regimes in the next months and becoming my tx buddies--- you all start way after and finish before me and i wish that for all who are waiting....

triple is brutal, and i know i could be pulled off at any time for a host of reasons (e.g. worsening anemia, increasing incivik rash)... you give me hope

I read the posts!
sometimes there just isn't any comment to make

They are important to me because I'm still living with the virus but haven't entirely given up hope.

Thanks for the breaking news, I have Doc appointment later this month to see if I should wait for new meds. I also signed up for clinical trail but they are only taking cirroitic patient right now. I'am very interested in the articles you find.
Thanks Again,
WE

Good luck in finding a trial WE. All the trials in Canada with new drugs have so far excluded cirrhotics. Maybe we should switch residences ..lol
