Has anyone heard of this 'news item'?: I'm told some hepC website posts news of recent studies finding that your condition won't progress beyond whatever state you're in after you've hosted hepC for 12 years -- and doctors are no longer doing

| Sucess rate by Genotype | 30 Sep 2005 23:34 GMT | 30 |
My Doctor told me that, at best, the cure rate was 40% for hepatitis. However,based on what I am reading that may be misleading. Does anybody know what the success rate of SVR is by Genotype?

Made my last trip to my doctor today and had my six months post treatment test for HEP C test. My doctor was more excited than I was. He very confident that I had been cured. I pray that I am, but after so much pain and misery it seems like its to

| Spontaneous Clearance | 29 Sep 2005 13:51 GMT | 7 |
Does anybody know if there are any studies about this supposedly 15-20% spontaneous clearance? Specifically, does this tend to happen at any particular time. Right after infection, the first few years, or perhaps at any time?

Hi All, I just went to my Dr. today to get my results from the battery of blood tests they did- genotype, VL, etc..- and my G.I. told me that I did have hep c antibodies and was exposed to the virus, however my immune system somehow fought it off and there were no detectable virus

| No more need for a biopsy?? | 28 Sep 2005 23:50 GMT | 3 |
Just had a visit to the G.I. Its been 5 years since my second biopsy. He said because the last one 5 years ago showed that I have cirrhosis, that having more biopsies wouldn't be beneficial in any way. I thought that sounded strange, but hey, what do I know?

The tx (interferon plus riba) treatment for 24 to 48 weeks is considered as a golden standard for treatment of HCV. The questionis: is that the only way of treating? Or is this not the only affordable one.

| Getting Scared | 27 Sep 2005 22:16 GMT | 24 |
Just left the Dr's office. They're starting to push the idea of getting a transplant. We have to wait to see what the labs say and then talking to the transplant specialist if needed. I've already told them I want to do a round of Infergen first if I have the time. They agreed on ...

My rash started at about week 16 (~5 weeks ago) and it's not responding to topical corticosteroids ( a strong one). 2 questions... 1 - Any suggestions? 2 - Most of my sides have been short-lived or cyclical. Is this rash likely
