About Me: Female, 45, Fresno - CA, member since Nov 2007
I'm a wife of someone who is in the 3rd stage of Hep C. I desperately want to know all of my husband Greg's options and what to expect so I can support him through this tough time. ... [More]
It's been a rough haul since Greg's diagnosis of Hep C and bladder cancer Last January.Greg no longer has cancer (thank you God!) Greg started treatment on December 21st.  He contacted Hep C when he was 17 years old. He's apparently had it for 39 years.
We just found out he's a genotype 1b and his VL is 248,000
He will be on Peg Interon 150 mcg and Ribavirin 3 pills 2 times daily 200 mcg.
48 weeks of treatment.
My husband and I serve a HUGE God who wants us to be healthy. I'm looking forward to Greg being healed!  
I'm so appreciative of all of you on this site. It' gives me great hope knowing there are others who are going thru or have gone thru Hep C. Thank you for sharing your hearts, experiences and time.   Janet  :) [Less]
