I'm 1a, stage 1, viral load was 5640 000 to start. I've been on pegintron/riba tx for 15 weeks. My dr said I'm testing pos for the virus, but the lab is taking forever with the #'s.
If I've dropped 2 logs, he'll keep me on tx for a total of 72 weeks, if not he'll take me off tx.
I have an appt. in June with a Hep C specialist at the "Center for the Study of Hepatitis C" in NYC.
Has anyone heard of it? Does my high viral count affect how quickly the disease will progress? My dr. says tx is a one shot deal. I've read here about double dosing, what alternatives are there?
