much concerned and need help
I have not been around for a while after failing my last trial in Miami. My liver is all scared and I'm sure much worse then 2009-2010 but now My new doctor has put me on Pegasys proclick (180) the usual Rribavirin 1200 mg a day and the new Incivek 750 mg every 8 hrs. I'm close to 70 years old and I guess this will be my last chance as he put it, so I'm very concerned with the outcome and what to expect during this 3 month although I still might be on the old medicine beyond this 3 months. I'm going on my second week on thursday and I'm not feeling too good. My urine has changed color like I never seen it before and I feel bad all over. I'm also taking pills to get this Amonia out of my system and thats one indicator I'm much worse, because I never suffered with this before. Any in-put would be helpful, and if anybody was and is in the same situation would be helpful. Thanks
There are gastroenterologists in Cumming, but if you want a hepatologist you may need to go to Atlanta. Which do you prefer?

Sorry for not being on so much, but I just moved to Georgia, and dont have much time because of the move. I need to get checked around dec. 20, or so and wondering if anyone knows a doctor to finish up with my last test. I'm in the cumming area 30041, and I'm checking "north forsyth Hospital" for doctors but cant find any that treats HEP C. Thanks hopefully you can help
Congrats on remaining UND 3 months after treatment. I think you are on the way to SVR! Yay for you!

Wonderful news, Salvo. It is great that your lab is improving and that you are still UND. Being UND at 3 months post end of treatment gives you a 99.7% chance at SVR, which is exceptionally high. Best of luck. Wishing you SVR. (Keep us posted.)
