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.
Good morning Peeps! Hi Triss!
Compensating cirrhotic here as well and we still have excellent stats, better than 93% chance of success!
That's great news for those of us at the 11th hour!
Keep us posted on how things go!
Thats awesome Kramer!!! We made it buddy!!!!
(11th hour for sure...like those little sea turtle hatchlings fighting to get to the water before the birds get em!)
COME ON IN! THE WATER IS FINE!
You are a vet from the bad ol days!! Old tx would have gotten me divorced and killed.
Meanwhile, I'm disgusted with the crap on this board from lonely childish bored people who selfishly rob us of information & support. Some of us are earnestly preparing & waiting for treatment from a disabling illness.
It is 5:30 am.....I need to get my 2 hours of sleep....I'll be back!
PARTY TIME! Dang I'm freakin tired.
Right, "Ernesto" needs to show up - he does have a thread called "Hi Everyone" that he started a few days ago, but... I guess LIFE came callin' and he's out there livin' it. I bet he'll appear soon.
Oh yes, I do know you bled to get to this point. I wish you TOTAL SUCCESS. When you see your first labs, with platelets going up and ALT and AST going down, you will feel the joy I did - at week four all those things were in the normal range for me. Could hardly believe it - but I'LL TAKE IT>
God bless you.

i'm telling you it really does not seem like I am treating, I've never done any treatment but came on here a ways back when Artynom was still around ( he was so awesome, I miss him) and was trying to mentally prepare myself for 48 weeks of hell with a toss if the coin as to weather or not if would be sucessful , feverishly following the new, at the time treatments like inciviek, which ended up even worse that just the riba. and inf. then I was really scared! turns out , thankfully, I was abld to bypass all that for these new drugs , and like I said after all that anticipation I really feel like Im not really even on a treatment! I am excited for all of us!
