Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! > > Shawn Yes Shawn, you get your doctor to sign you off sick, and then you walk into the court house with your mind all befuddled because of the interferon, everybody there falls over backwards to help you and they rush you in front of a judge because bankruptcy takes priority over anyone else, and he takes one look at your befuddled state and says "What happened to you?" and even then you mess up explaining, so he declares you bankrupt, as of that time, and all your troubles are over. You then have to see the "Official Receiver" who also notices your confused state, and you tell him/her you are off sick, and they try to find your assets, but by now you doubtless have few left, and because you are signed off sick by a doctor you cannot be expected to work, they write off your debts, and therefore you can spend the time on sick-pay resting until you are really well enough to start again. HTH Alan No experience with bankruptcy, but I did go broke.

If so, there are Hep C clinics and also ROCHE patient assistance foundation that gives free Pegasys if you qualify according to their Pegassist pamphlet. You can call 1-877-734-2797 or www.pegasys.com. I hope that you don't have to be on the streets to qualify. Alot of pharm companies are now giving cheep or free drugs to those who qualify, it's kind of a public relations thing to clean up their greedy images. The USA has just passed a new law this week to make bankruptcy harder to enter into. Pressure from the credit card companies! I am not sure of all the details. Sue Yeh Merck ( i think it is) is giving 40% or more pricing Discounts I haven't read it Jus heard to all without insurance. Doug... will post link . > Hey Shawn, > I guess that you are still on tx?

Shawn May all the gods and goddesses, ever,...Bless you. I wish I knew the answer. I thought that the bankrupcy law wouldn't go into effect for a few months...I could be wrong. BUT if that is the case you may want to act quickly. Funny thing is this will give bankruptcy lawyers one last hurrah. ugh hmmm...I'd always thought you lived in Europe. :) Mary Ann No, I was never one to have treatment offered to me. By the time my Hep-C was discovered my liver was functioning at a rate of 8 to 10%. I had to chance the transplant method instead. I had excellent insurance coverage from my employer for the transplant (100%) It was the complications that just kept pilling up and up and up!!! So, before Busch's save the credit card companies plan goes into effect I wanted to see what my options were if any!. We're down to the bottom of the barrel and have to figure something out. So I thought someone might have some doings in this area. SignatureShawn (use the "reply feature on your browser to send a private reply via E-Mail.) > Hey Shawn, > I guess that you are still on tx?

I should be back in a month. Hey Shawn, f.ck 'em if they can't take a joke. Ahahahahahahahahah!!! Gebehard "GumBoot" Bixer Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!! |
