why you think that sending interferon is illegal? If someone pays all tax fees on the border, I think it might not be problem; it's legal treatment thing, it's not narcotic. people have to help each other.........
if someone have cheaper interferon than 200 EUROS(for weak), contact me, please. I don't have so much money to buy it in Georgia........

   Hi...I feel you could be getting the run around. Do you live in a remote area where good health care might be somewhat lacking?  Visible minority??  I can't think of why they wouldn't give you a biopsy. Platelets low? A bad habit?  I'll try to help you. I'll ask my trial Dr. next week, about your situation, about being a non responder with G 3. He may answer. I know other people who may be able to help.

       Take Care, Pedro

yes  I was told that retreatment  was not happening unless  it was different drugs.  I am going to check around for a clinical trial.  And no idea what shape my liver is in as they will not do a biopsy on geno 3 even though I figure I have had it for 40 years.  So tired of bashing my head aganinst a rock and a hard place never had a problem with depression during tx but sure had it pre and post tx lol.

   I have been told one person from B.C. is on his 5th try. Did your Dr. tell you, there is no second chance? and why? That doesn't seem right. I assume you took INF and RBV, only.

   There are, ongoing, different, clinical trials, here in B.C.as well as all over the world, that are having very good success rates, as you probably know. Check that out. I think it is going to take a fair bit of time to get these new drugs approved by Health Canada. You may need.something else in the treatment to achieve a SVR. I would be reluctant to do the same thing twice, with all the advances in treatment these days. Do you have a biopsy result?
