Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 First off,i realize that a biopsy is thee best way to examine the condition of an " area " of the liver. taking babysteps here...i finnally had a altrasound done and i got the results back today,they did not see any mass of scarring/tumor or sirrhosis.again,i realize that a biopsy can determin more but at least i know theres nothing that they can see by thee altrasound.they didnt have my geno-type done yet but for some reason i feel its going to be thee easier one to treat,just a gut feeling hope everyone is doing good and hope you have a beautiful wk-end ahead.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I used Gold Bond lotion during treatment. It stopped the itch quickly. A big green bottle cost half of what a small tube of AVeeno cost. > > From: cwluvscats <cwluvscats@...> > Subject: itching > Hepatitis C > Date: Thursday, May 20, 2010, 8:46 AM > > Â > > I have had Hep C for 33 years. treatment did not work for me.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I was diagnosed with hep c when I was 13 due to my mothers drug use I contracted it. I did many of biopsys which due hurt a lot but if the doctor does not want to do a biopsy your virus load may not be high. They did a biopsy because the ultrasound highlighted some worry areas.
