Incharge08 may need help...

[medicmommy]

Hey everyone...Incharge08 (I'm brain fogging bad today, can't remember her name), has had her insurance terminated and is 3 months into treatment...she is a 1a with a 1/1 bx, so she has a really good chance of SVRing if she can keep going...her meds run out next Friday...I'm checking around to see if there's anyone out there who has leftover Peg or Ribavirin and would be willing to send it to her if she decides to keep txing...by the time her legal avenues work, it will be too late to continue...As we all know, this battle is tough enough without having this happen too... ~Melinda
