Well my blood work came back and I am geno type 1 b.  Is this a life
sentence?  Everything I have read shows a 20% chance of beating this.  I see
the specialist tomorrow.  What should I be asking him?

 Recently I passed the 2/3 mark in my way to the end of tx at September
03/05.  I never did achieve an SVR, but I did have at week 12, a 2.5 log
drop on my Viral Loading (VL)  No rebound, no intermediate PCR at week 24.
So since then (four months or more) I have been working on ...

I am a 45 year old male with cirrhosis, ascites, bleeding arteries in my
throat, enlarged liver and spleen, and a platelet count of 62-(up from 43
using God-given Maryjane). All this is from 25 years of hep-c G3 infection.
(Thank-you Uncle Sam!) All the Dr.s tell me "get a liver ...

Responding to May 26th dialog for puckertoe.
Do you recommend taking extra riba for nonresponders only or do you
recommend it for everyone if they can handle it? Sometimes to much info
can be dangerous in the wrong hands:-)

Somehow I have made t to week 43 and have just a few weeks to go before I'm
done with TX. It has indeed been an interesting ride, but what concerns me
is not so much getting my SVR,(almost a sure bet), but not having a
legitimate excuse for my behavior :-). I will no longer have ...

I find out on Tuesday what treatment I will be receiving.  They have sent
away for my geno type and the results come back this week.  I have been
given a video on managing my pegasys treament alfa 2a so I assume that is
how I am being treated

I haven't been posting much since my 6th and last shot 4/4/05. My WBC
dropped to 1.3 and was taken off riba but not peg! I took myself off peg
(riba lowers RBC and peg lowers WBC) So my doc screwed up again. He also
