Hey i have a really good friend and my best friends mother dealing with hep c. But non of them have medical insurance. How can they get treatment
I am not sure exactly what the signs are but she still chooses to drink and has been in the hospital because of her liver. she also has 2 small children single mom
I did triple tx with incivek for 12 weeks, riba & interferon for 24 weeks. All of my labs were UNDected. I finished tx 4 months ago today. I was geno type 1a fibrosis stage 3. I was diagnosed 1 year ago & I've already completed tx successfully. I lost 80% of my hair but it's coming back. Treatment works! The people on this site are wonderful about answering questions.Don't be scared.
"hi I am newly daignosed hepc geno 1a im scared because of the side effects will we get our heath back?"
Hi paloma, I was diagnosed geno 1a as well, I did 48 weeks of treatment with incivek, interferon and ribavirin from 8/24/11 until 7/24/12, the treatment wasn't a cake walk by any means but I made it through, I am almost 4 months post treatment, still undetectable and feeling great, almost like brand new, I say almost because I am 47 :), the positives are I stopped the damage being done to my liver.
Do you know how much liver damage you have? I was at late stage 3 when diagnosed so I didn't feel I had time to wait for less harsh treatments
Welcome to the group

My name is Richard Benson 58 years, I have been told on April 1st 2010 I have hep c. I started my treatment on June 27th 2012 and it took 5 weeks for me to get rid of 36 million bad cells in me, in 5 weeks I zeroed out.
I would be interested in a chat as well of the situation is right. I have wondered what I would do if I needed liver transplant without insurance.
