Hi and Welcome, CarolMy name is Gloria and I not only live away on the other side of the continent; but, I'm also Canadian. I was diagnosed with Hep C in 2002. Then in 2004, it was decided that I should move on and learn what geno type and how much damage had been done. Well, I was a genotype 1b and already in Stage 3 with bridging fibrosis.So, I began tx in the fall of 2004. Sadly, when it was all done in August of 2005, I still had Hep C and a new label - "non-responder". It was still difficult to find out back in 2005, what would be next for a non-responder. However, we did start to hear about this new

medication shortly after that time and I was hoping that my liver would not get too badly damaged before I could do treatment again.Gratefully, I was asked to participate in a clinical trial in early 2009. By that time, the biopsy showed that I had sunk to cirrhosis. However, even though it was a double blinded study, I fiqured that I was actually getting the third drug (protease inhibitor). By the fall of 2009, it was also confirmed that I had 0 viral count and just the last 3 months to the end. By the end of June 2010, I was happily told that I was still a 0 viral load 6 mos post and for that I'm ever so grateful. So, when you are ready, please let us know about you and how the Hep C has affected your life. There are truly all sorts of folks on this forum. We have those, such

as myself, that have been cured. We have a few that are currently on tx and we have those that are waiting to start. However, we also have some that are far more comfortable with a natural approach.Again, welcome - Gloria
