Have had HVC for 20 years (at least). Finally looking into it. Asymptomatic
and feel fine. Know most of side effects.
Had a "fibrashure" (sp?) test , and it was F4 (the worst) for cirrhosis.

so, liver biopsy, being sent to transplant clinic just to get "evaluated"...
then tx in 2 weeks intron/riba.......

wow........48 weeks of bliss............

Welcome to the Thunderdome (maybe Everyone in that movie was on tx,
that's why they were all so mean.)

Lots of folks report sides that aren't bad, feeling fine already will
probably help in dealing with those that come up.

Jay, sorry to hear the bad news about the test results.  Are you in
the US?  I'm just wondering where they are using the Fibrosure test to
grade liver disease.   Good luck with your other appointments and 48
weeks of tx goodness.
