Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Sue, I am Penny and I had cirrhosis from Hep C, and had a liver transplant on January 6, 2008. I am doing very well now. You stated in one of your posts that your husband Jeff had to do treatment for the Hep C after his transplant. I will have to do that too. I just had a biopsy of my new liver Tuesday for staging to see what effect the Hep C is doing to my new liver. I won't get the results for a couple of weeks, and if it shows it's not trying to affect the liver yet, I can hold off on doing the treatment for a while. I actually have three questions for you. How long after transplant did your husband have to do the treatment? How did he do with the treatment (symptom wise), was he very sick with it? And lastly, what was his viral load of the Hep C when he started treatment? My viral load was 60,000 in March, and now it has jumped up to 207,000, which is the highest it has ever been since I've had the Hep C, but that is mostly because of the immunosuppressant drugs limiting my immune system from fighting off the virus. Last May before the transplant, my viral load was 900. The highest it has ever been before transplant was in 2004 when it was 160,000, and I already had cirrhosis. Thank you in advance for answering my questions, if you will. Also, to everyone else who has had not the best of news lately, I hope things get better. I hope everyone is well as can be. Take care.
