92 weeks tx and relapse

Just got my 3-month PCR back - the dragon is back.  My viral load currently is 1.5 million, whereas my baseline pre-tx viral load was 750,000.  I don't have to tell you how I feel right now...

So, now I'm in the boat of having to live with HCV until tele or boc becomes available.  I'll probably opt for some variation of HR's supplement regime to try to keep fibrosis progression to a minimum.  

This would be easier to take if I was employed and didn't have so much time to think about it.  I haven't been able to find a job in this dismal economy since graduating in May.  If anyone knows of any available telecommuting work for a recent MBA grad, let me know  :-)

That sux! But it is one battle in a long war and hopefully something will be approved soon to win the next battle.

What specialty is your MBA in? What time of work are you interested in specifically? The market here in the SF Bay area seems stronger than elsewhere so maybe check craigslist in SF.

Aye yi yi!  Really sorry to hear this news smaug -- at least you have a strong response to interferon, and the PIs will do the trick for you.
