Sorry about your mums relapse.
Side effects are similar between the Non Peg IFN and Pegasys. Although Pegasys should have less sides than Roferon because it is only injected weekly, rather than 3 times a week. However a lot depends on how your mum coped last time. If she had minimal sides then that is probably what will happen with Pegasys. If her sides were harsh then maybe it will be a similar ride.
No way to tell really till you have them.
Was your mum also taking Ribavirin and is she taking this now and at what doses.
Best of luck to your mum and SVR this time
