Re: Hi dollfin0086 and Welcome to group - Gang another husband and wife team

[Guest guest]

Hi my name is Beth and my husband's name is Will(as you can see in my

profile, I can't figure out how to change it lol, please forgive me,

but do not leave me alone). My husband has been on tx since October

2007. He is on Pegasys and Ribaviran. He also has one weekly

injection each of Neupogen and Procrit. His tx was extended by his GI

due to being a " slow responder " to 72 weeks. The side effects have

taken a great toll on his body and my sanity (lol). We have been

receiving co-pay assitance through Pegassist for their meds and

Healthwell Foundation for the Procrit and Neupogen. I am looking for

more information on where to receive assistance other than Pegassist

as they have said they will not fund him for the extension period.

Any help or other information that anyone can offer is greatly

appreciated. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT DESPITE WHAT MY

PROFILE SAYS!!!!!!
