I was diagnosed in April, and I've got the worst genotype you can get apparently. It's been tough to accept, but I'm ready to start treatment, I think, the side effects sound horrible. It hasn't been without roadblocks, I asked one of my bosses at work to look into the possiblilty of a layoff happening at work, because I was to start treatment shortly, and wouldnt be able to afford pegatron treatment without the work drugplan, well, by the end of shift that day, I found myself fired.. can you believe it? Their excuse was that "with the cost of benefits so high they regretfully have to let me go."I never told them what I was sick with, but they did know it was something pretty serious, as I had presented them numerous times with medical certificates from the specialist from days I was just too sick to be at work. So now, I have no benefits, and so I couldn't start my treatments. I'm waiting for Pegcare and Trillium group to help me out. It's been mentally the most stressful time I've been through, and for my wife too. Now I don't know if I should do this treatment or not, and would love to know if anyone has ever been through this from an employer. I makes one feel like a leper.
