old man liver
so i met my new doctor last week. she informed me about the system they have online where i can have a profile and see my records back to about 2009. my last doc was entering data into this system but never told me about it. my new woman doc sent me the link so i could sign up. u can ask your doc questions and get an idea what they r saying about u. not to mention test results as soon as they r entered in the system. y my old doc never informed me is a good question? my biopsy results aren't in that system, nor r the results from my first liver ultrasound. but the results for my second ultrasound r there. i printed them off so i could look up the terminology. the thing that stood out to me was "liver is unremarkable". so a little over three years ago they saw nothing on my test. this was eight months after my treatment ended in feb. 2010. so i did 48wks of poison for a liver that was unremarkable on an ultrasound. a treatment i still have side effects from five yrs later. a treatment that failed. a treatment that cost $90K. a treatment that may have left me with side effects for life. a treatment that is chemotherapy but the docs never tell u that. y do i hate doctors? they made me sicker than hep C ever did. our government is owned by big corporations, our media is owned by big corporations and it seems our doctors r also bought. lovely. sorry im a little bitter. mike

Unremarkable is a good thing! A very good thing. Sorry you went through rough t and still have side effects, but they were trying to rid you of the virus which you need to do even if your liver is unremarkable. Will you treat again with the newer gentler treatments?
