Teleprevir was recently developed as a stand alone treatment or in combination with Pegasus.It has a shorter treatment time,but is somewhat difficult to tolerate.
I don't know. Yesterday after seeing my psycologist, I was told I will start the chemo May 6th. It would be nice to have a shorter treatment. 48 weeks is a long time. The older I get, the larger of a percentage it is of my remaining life. By the time this is over, I'll be going on 54 years old. Hopefully I will clear this the first time around. I read I got a 50% chance of that.

What ever type treatment it is, I'll be thankfull for it. The VA is paying for all of it. I don't have any health insurance, and I don't have the $90,000+ to pay for it my self.
