4 week test?

Everyone seems to have 4 week results.  My Doctor says that she will only do the 3 month test because results would not change the protocal and that a poor 4 week result could be demoralizing.  Is this legit? Does knowing your response earlier that 4 weeks help in any way?

strator; so sorry about your friend, she left a vacant space in everyone's heart, it seems. It is so sad to see children and other pets grieve, because you find yourself unable to comfort them.  Good luck on the other issue, the tutoring lessons, I guess as long is not in biology...
plenty of members have had mild sides and still got svr. I think that was ONE study I read, a long time ago, about bad sides=svr, not enough to believe the theory.

the goofball; I will join in the chant: "Eggs come in grades, fibrosis comes in stages, Eggs come in grades, fibrosis comes in stages, Eggs come in stages, fibrosis in grades...and congratulations!!"


maybe you should now move on to garlic vinagraitte, looks like the onions were sautee too long.
I hear it helps with facial hair...

Goofy- that's purely wonderful news on your tests! I think how you look at life has an awful lot to do with how you live it and how it lives you. And frankly, I think humor does kill bugs! I'm not sure about onions though - I suspect they just clear rooms and provide peace and quiet. As for that metallic taste - my doc suggests zinc lozenges (fight metal with metal, I guess) and it sort of works, kind of.

Strator- I'm so sorry about your dog. We have 2 at the moment and they are such a comfort. When we lost our last dog at 17 I thought we'd never have another, but here we are now with 2 more and loving every moment. As for the shovel, is there someplace I can trade in my teaspoon for a backhoe?

when we're "in the moment" of hep c, it's like that's all there is. how right you are that life still goes on. i have a 90-lb very spoiled dog that i love dearly, will be devastated when something happens to him.  and your son.....lol.  our rule was that the door had to stay open. as days went on, door would be open an inch less..an inch less...an inch less...and you better believe Momma was on top of THAT situation!!!!!  kids think they're slick!!!  lol
goofydad...you never fail to make me laugh out loud. glad you had good results
