thanks for the advise. Hopefully we can find the right Dr. as we are in northern Maine. Will just have to travel. Thanks again
yes! it sounds like your doc is sending you in the right direction. a hep specialist is the common theme for tx of hep-c. if your gi specialist is not a hep specialist i would ask for a refferal to one. they specialise in hepatitis and the management as well as the tx of hepatitis. you are in the right group and please feel free to ask if you need it. you will see there is a lot of good info in here.
keep in touch and please let us how it goes.
Yes, have your son see a liver specialist (hepatologist). They know more.
I would go to a liver specialist as I went to a GI before and I have had to go through the tx now this is the 3rd time.
