Me too on Sam's" disapproval.

Haven't started yet. I am to start on May 6th. In a way I am glad. In another way I am not looking forward to it. All the stories I've read makes it a scary thing for me. On the other hand liver cancer seems much more scary. So I'll take the shots and pills, and hope and pray I am one of the 50% of type 1's who do clear the virus.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. It does mean a lot to me knowing I have friends and family who care about me. Depression is one of the nasty gifts HCV hands out. Knowing people are pulling for me makes all the difference.

For now I try to keep an open mind, and plan for the future like I will be cured in 48 weeks. If the cure don't happen for me, I'll deal with that then. :hippy:
pepurr Reviewed by pepurr on . Upper GI Hopes Tomorrow I go in for an upper GI so the doc can check that ulcer. Hopefully it is gone. If it is gone, they can start the hepatitis C treatment on me. It has been a long row to hoe, and this isn't even near over. Once the chemo starts, it will continue for 48 weeks. Well, it will as long as they see a drop in viral count by 12 weeks. If not, they will call me a non-responder and stop treatment. If I can make it through for 48 weeks, even then I will only have a 50% chance of clearing this Rating: 5
