You know I'm so stupidly DENSE that I forgot to come down here to dwell.  I kept saying to myself where are the guys.....where did they all go?  And then one day it occurred to me. DUH!

I hate being such an airhead - the one good thing about treatment is...now at least I can blame it on SOMETHING.

Still can't get over T's news! How freaking INCREDIBLE!!!!  :)

Deb. I've come to liking being a bottom dweller. It's a bit more quite. I do read at the top and I'm glad to see you are still holding up real well.
Vickie. I'm sure the news was a giant boost for you. I still have happy feet over it.

Hey Ya'll.. I had a two day FOOD Party.... LoL...
I ate Sooooo Much... I had Lobster the first night, & Alaskan King Crab Legs Last night... Yumm Yumm!

Bean...
Yup Rob bought some wine... but I ATE So Much I didn't have room for any...LoL... had one glass with both meals.... but.. I also took a 2 day break from doing our 3 mile walks in the evening... so that wasn't good... Oh well gotta stick my nose back to the grindstone this evening... or shall I say "My Feet To The Asphault" LoL... A few days ago we saw a MoMa & Bay deer when walking, & the day after that a great big FAT Racoon... so I enjoy our walks...

How was the Pinot Noir...??? Thank you for trying to get those results for me & the persisitance... I guess now that I know it was the heptamax & that it had to go to California & back That I pretty much look like an impatient A$$... {{{Blushing}}} But Heck I didn't know!

Doing that dance for you myself girl.  Whooptedo.  Ya know, I have been calling that funky lab for you at least twice a day since last week.  It still says your results are pending.


Sooooo glad they called you (or you called them).  Made my day, Bon

So have a good lunch and dinner and maybe even a glass of wine.  (a client is coming in from Oregon today and asked if I liked wine.  I said of course, even tho I haven't had a drink for a year and a half.  She is bringing a bottle of Pinot Noir - said it is the specialty grown there).  May i will just have to a glass as a toast to you, my dear friend.

THERE YOU ARE..... {{{HUGZ}}}...
I thought I had Lost Contact With You, Posted a couple of times to you but you never came back & saw it!!!

North East Ga Medical Center!!!!

I just went to my local GP & had the test drawn, Wasn't going back to Quack Quack & they sent it over to the local lab (which is the same place Quack would have sent it since it wasn't the ultra sensative Heptamax)....

Had it of been sent to quest I'd of probably already had it back!

When I relapsed last time, it immediately shot up to 6 thousand within the first two weeks, so I figured the standard <612 would tell me what I need to know.... plus I was taking the cheaper route since I had to pay out of pocket!

Everything still cost 298.00 (including office visit)& that was WITH a $75.00 discount... Grrr!

The ALT & AST part came back within like 3 days & my AST was 16, & My ALT was 29.... (& I know that means nothing) but to me that looks very promising because when I relapsed last time both those #'s sky rocketed off the chart... so I am hopeful.

I am here, right around the corner from you... about 370 miles away.
I thought maybe you had it at Quest or Lab Corp. I have gotten to know some reps over the years, and thought I could help. Well you know, there are ways, and there are ways.
If the virus is back, I would think that after 4 month it would be higher then 615, so you should be ok.
Do you still have my e-mail?
Is YOUR old e-mail still valid?

I hope you tried to negotiate a discount with the hospital too.
Do you know that my insurance company negotiated with Quest and Lab Corp a discount on the PCR's, and they are paying less than $100.

I am waiting with you girl, and I cross my toes.
Cuteus has my e-mail, you can get it from her.

I am Not Believing what the stupid receptionist told me...
So It is IN PROCESS Of Being Faxed RIGHT Now....

Seems I got the Heptamax after-all & that it had to go to California & Back... but it's weird cause this gal was even having trouble pronouncing it... they are NOT going to leave a recording, & I did NOT get to talk to the Doc... so that's why I am having trouble accepting this...

But I'll say This.... It Certainly something worth getting excited about... (If It's True)...
I Hope, I HOPE!!!!

Crossing fingers here!

Hey,,,your alt would automatically elevated so you are good! But,,,,Your drs office needs to call lab and get right back with you.  This is way too long and they should have an answer now. And should be considerate to your feelings on this test,,,,this is just one more emotional roller coaster after finishing up the biggest one of all!!!  Tell them You demand some results today!

Heptimax is done at Quest Nichols, California.
Mine took close to 14 days, and it didn't need to travel cross country.
Yes yes yes...say the word...undetected

Thanks both of you, that made my day to get your posts!!

I wouldn't ever leave, I don't think, because this BB has such valuable insight into EVERYTHING about Hep C, I do believe.

I just will be hesitant to start my own post, let's say.  Which is too bad, because I was just thinking of all the newbies who haven't read about the squirrel & the cops -and- waxing.  LOL, they are THE funniest two jokes I think I've ever read.  I was going to label one post Hep C Stress Reliever.  Then wait a week and do the 2nd joke online.  

LOL, they really are too funny, now that I think about it.  Makes me laugh just thinking about them.

Anyway, thanks again.  I will be around for sure.  Just not so vocal.

God bless -

hi mike!  good advice to paso......

paso - i, for one, appreciated your post, and i commented....i also only bottom feed here, rarely post above, but i'm always reading....i guess i feel i don't have much to offer "up there" and have also experienced being shot down by someone who doesnt agree with me.....
mike is so right - this is a wonderful forum, and i know you have more to offer than some......if i'm right i think mike has had a one or two threads get pulled.lol....frustrating, but don't leave....

Speak up - everyone else does and I would bet you have more to offer than most - I say that because you are obviously sensitive to the other members and that distinguishes you from many who monopolize the discussions these days. So, don't bite your tongue too much because that HURTS! Mike

Thanks for the heads up.  I won't quit reading, but am (at least for now) afraid to post.  Actually, not afraid, just like to avoid arguments when I can.  I held my tongue last time, but cannot always do that.  Thanks again.
