Ex husband has hep c

[WoriedMom]

I just found out my ex husband contracted hep c.  Should I be worried that our 11 year old daughter could be at risk?

It just goes to show you that you never know where the "better treatments" we're waiting for just might come from.  Here's a short blurb from last Friday:

"Vanderbilt University researchers found that secretions from the skin of some Australian frogs were effective in the test tube at killing HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. They hope their findings will lead to the creation of a topical ointment containing synthetic secretions that will help cut the spread of the deadly worldwide pandemic."

Finally talked to NP at Docs.  Gonna do some blood today.  Thinking pain might be gall bladder as some suggested.  Will get results tomorrow I believe.  

Also, mentioned my concern about reduced dosage.  Well, come in and talk to Dr.  Next opening is Nov. 29. ???  Well, it will be up to Doc if he wants to double book himself, will leave him a note.  I am going to look for a second opinion now.  Three weeks on reduced dosage is ticking me off.  Shucks!  Not quit enough Riba to form a rage today, tho I would like to right now!  lol  

Thanks again to all.

One thing that is important I learned in here ... educate yourself and before you go to your doctor (mine was a bit of a hard butt too) have all your valid points ready
a. b. c. why I need Procrit.  why I need more Riba.  why blah blah yippedity do.

If you sound TOO much a know it all they won't ever agree with you so just try and sound really naive but make the valid points.

Having all my documentation has REALLY helped big time - cause I can say look on 9/21 I was at this number and at 10/21 I am HERE.....you know?

People like Jim helped walk me through it and well = it's really working out well for me. knowldge = power.

BEST of luck!

Can't loose the bejeweled sandals, don't have any other shoes here! And a guy is coming from a company to show us this software and how to use it w/ half this dept, half another dept...ought to be pretty entertaining! I have to keep the wings or the outfit wouldn't be complete!

I just ran into the VP of the hospital and anointed him w/ my wand...he said he needed a good anointing...another head of the hosp asked which one of us was out of costume and I told him he was! It's Halloween! I was taking a message to someone in the auditorium filled w/ Medicare speakers and about 100 people...I said I was the 'message fairy'...I'm having a good ol time today!
