Hepatitis C Support Group
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.

geno 1A
stage 4
grade 2
VL under 78 last time I was checked before they pulled me off tx, will try again on the new meds soon.
Just starting to get some energy back... I am ready to try again, however, what I have read and been told by Dr...is that they have no way of telling if I have one, zero or 77, so how can they say it failed? We will see on my next Viral load test... whenever that is.
Started with viral load at 6 million and an undie at week 4.
5 shots left and praying for SVR, if not will do battle some more.
Bring it on.
Thanks to God & everyone here at DS, it has been a life line for me.
