Injection a day for 12 months?

[rringr]

Hello All I finished 20 months of treatment Oct 2008. In 3 months well..... Its BAAAAAAAck. My Doctors tell me I can do treatment again But.... a injection a day of Pegintron and the usual pills, do the usual bloodwork, every 12 weeks. Up to a year.      All commentes from anyone would be appreciated!

So sorry to hear your news, that must be so difficult to accept.

Does you doctor perhaps mean daily infergen together with riba?  Infergen is consensus interferon, and is sometimes prescribed as a daily injection for those who have been unsuccessful on SOC.  It is reputed to be a very difficult treatment.  A few forum members take daily infergen.  Perhaps one of them will chime in with some information.

By the way, if prescribed daily infergin, I would insist on blood work much more frequently that every 12 weeks.

Best of luck to you.

So sorry to hear it's back! Has your doctor said anything about waiting for the new Protease Inhibitors to come to market in a couple of years?

My DR just mentioned that nothing new in treatment would be availible for 2 years and then suggested I do the inj.a day treatment.
And yes its njections  along with riba
