Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi Don, I'm SuZie, another Canadian, like Mama Gail. Also another old hippie like you - swf, 58, dx'd (diagnosed) HCV+ in 1990 but infected in 1969 during druggie phase, tried tx(treatment) twice in the 90s but did not respond (geno 1a). Now I'm in ESLD(End Stage Liver Disease) with one small cancerous tumor so I'm on the t p (transplant) list & waiting. Everybody has a different outcome - the hep affects each of us differently so don't judge yourself by what happens to others, just wait & see. Tx has better results now than when I did it, my doctor gave me a 12% chance of SVR(sustained viral response) so I went for it. Didn't work for me but I already had cirrhosis & had for a while. I wasn't very kind to my liver for many years. Anyways, I live up here in the GWN(Great White North) with my roomie, pest control officer & BOSS Sir SpYke the Magnificent - a Birman cat who thinks he owns me & may be right. Welcome to the family. We're a bit weird but loveable.SuZie & Sir SpYke the Fluffy, He Who Must Be Obeyed.If it's true that we're only here to help others then what exactly are the other people here for?
