Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / September 20076 month post treatment test result
I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this morning. Im not sure but I think that makes me offically a DRAGONSLAYER. I realize so many dont respond to treatment. So Im greatful to God for this second chance at life. I was Genotype 1. I probably had it for over 30 years, maybe even as long as 40. Biopsy showed I was Stage 3, Grade 3. The doctor was talking about putting me on the transplant list if the virus was still active. Heres a secret for those starting treatment. Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven." And here is link to some nice people willing to remember you in thier prayers. www.godslearningchannel.com >I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this > morning.

If it was God's doing, my treatment would not have worked and at least a few other folks here would have been successful. > >I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this > > morning.

I think the reason the specialist said, "probably cirhhosis" was from my first biopsis 2 years previous, I progressed rapidly to st-2 gr-4. I don't know if the rate of damage stays consistant or not, but if in 2 years I progressed fairly rapidly, I assume they feel things must be a fair bit worst 7 years later. Still, I do want another biopsis. Thanks for the input. > >I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this > > morning.

I have a positive attitude, I am positive I can't wait to get off the TX :-) Congrats anonymousone, sounds like you killed the Dragon. >I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this >morning. > >Im not sure but I think that makes me offically a DRAGONSLAYER. [...] Yes, it does indeed. And congratulations! Well done! :-) Cheers /greyhackles (whatever worked for you, worked for you) A question on the stage and grade deciphering. My last biopsis, 7 years ago, showed stage 2 grade 4. The specialist put on his report "probable cirhosis. That was my second biopsis, and the Dr. doesn't want to do another one for me. Because I'm a Hemophiliac I have to have my biopsis Trans-jugular. I'm assuming that in 7 years I would have gone up a stage or so. Maybe I should insist on another biopsis incase I'm a candidate for a transplant list. I'm 53 and in Canada the cut-off for a transplant is 55. Thanks for any info.

If you do go for another biopsy, get another specialist to read it. Stage 2 *usually* means non-bridging fibrosis; Stage 3 is bridging fibrosis; Stage 4 is cirrhosis; which would leave you quite a ways from a cirrhosis diagnosis. You really cannot predict the progression of liver damage. You may well be still Stage 2, or you could be Stage 4, or somewhere in between (about the only thing you know is you haven't regressed). I'm stunned that Canada has such a ridiculously low cut-off for liver transplants! Cripes - I'm 55! I don't know what the typical wait for a transplant is in Canada, but if you feel anxious about your situation, insisting on a biopsy may be a good idea...

To that point: My 2006 biopsy showed "Stage 3 - bridging fibrosis, cannot exclude cirrhosis", but then went on to say, "Consistent with 2001 biopsy.", which I think means "no change". > > You really cannot predict the progression of liver damage.

Was your 2001 stage 3 as well? > Was your 2001 stage 3 as well? 2001 was before I started getting my own copy of lab reports... learned that here. > A question on the stage and grade deciphering.

It is most accurate on early and later stages of liver disease. You sound like a good candidate for that. > I got the results of my 6 month post treatment test results this > morning.
