Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 I am a happy camper. My liver biopsy results came back as level 1 liver damage with minimal cirrhosis. And my viral load is really low now. I got on the list for treatment, peg-intron and rebetal.(spelling?) I have my scripts. I should be able to start treatment in about a month or sooner. He said my prognosis is good. He said after a year of weekly treatment it should irradicate the virus. He also said there is a 1% chance that it will come back. Tomorrow morning we get my childrens blood tested. So even if i am a sleepy head at least I have good news. I am also part of a program where a nurse from the drug manufacturer will gall me to get progress reports and monitor my side effects. They told me to drink 84oz of water a day plus another 64oz by the time treatment starts. I will float away. LOL They also stressed the protein. Ther Dr said I had no restrictions other then alcohol and my stomach problems are probably due to GERD. So my anxiety has somewhat abated. Luv you all thanks for the continued support and info.
