Something to ponder - HCV is body wide - tx

[Guest guest]

HCV is a very intelligent virus and determined to survive and thrive even to the point of staying 1 step ahead of any form of tx by constantly reproducing itself mutating changing form to many sub-species - new species - qusispecies in order to not allow the tx needs to find it - identify it and try to control it. It instinctively knows to search out the liver to survive where it loves to set up shop to better thrive and reproduce and also lays safety net cells deep within the body tissue that can remain dormant if needed to later start up and start the reproduction cycle all over again. By examining postmortem by

autopsy it has been seen and is now know to even invade to some degree deep within the body and tissues and has even been found in brain tissue. A person in any stage can even contract another geno - form - species of HCV and both will survive thrive and mutate with the main or older established species usually dominant and in better control. I was finally dx'ed correctly with HCV but after to much damage had been done in late stages and to late for the best response or any response from any form of known tx. If it was me and dx'ed early enough I would try any and all tx meds and forms on the market and as many times as needed trying like hell to win some form of control over it

and before I needed a transplant. There is no cure and a transplant is not a cure only buys more time if past the point of no return and HCV by whatever species is to strong and in control. If HCV is full blown at the time of transplant it can return immediately after a clean transplant and instinctively knows to travel finds and sets up shop again in the clean liver and with the help of many medications and immunosuppressents - anti-rejection drugs is allowed to thrive again and this time faster. It comes down to an individuals choices - try all tx meds available and early and as many times as medically possible for any form of help or do nothing and end up in the hells of

ESLD than the need for praying for a transplant and again fighting HCV to survive. The choice is yours. Choose wisely in time and the best for you. Ok I'll shut up an be good for awhile. Damn that's no fun. Love and

Hugs. Deb
