Switching to Pegasy????
Ok...Has anyone started on Peg intron & riba and then switched over to Pegasy? Is there any information out there?
Hubby has had 4 weeks of Peg & riba, but was going to be asked to switched over to Pegasy & riba; however, now I am a bit concerned after reading about travelmom's daughter. (BUT it does look like the virus is clearing, but just slower than expected.)
The Peg & riba knocks him out for the WHOLE weekend. I was hoping that switching to Pegasy would help with the sides.
Hubby is 2b Viral load 91,000 IV Cirrohsis Stage 2
Also I just read the following:
"Pegasys may get a leg up thanks to its effectiveness in treating patients with liver cirrhosis and a shorter course of therapy for easier-to-treat patients."
Is Pegasy better for patients with cirrohsis?
How long would a 2b cirrohsis patient need to be on treatment?
Any Advice Would be Very Appreciated...
Thanks,
Shebee
