went to Dr. today

[antman]

i saw my wonderful GI today to set up my tx. he confirmed that i wanted to proceed and said they would start the process of ordering the drugs. i asked him about VX-950 and he said it was about 3 years away. he said if the Pegasys doesn't work then in 3 years i could tx with the Vertex. i assured him it would work. he was impressed by my knowlege from reading so much on the net. he said i probably knew about as much as he did but without the personal experience. i know he was being modest as this Dr. is highly regarded and well known amongst other Dr.'s in the South East. in a way i am relieved that the decision is done, but a little scared at the same time. i know you can all understand. i'll keep you all informed.

Good to hear you like your doctor. when will you start and what's your stats. sorry if you posted them already, i may have missed them. I haven't been on the forum as much lately and so many threads that sometimes its hard to keep up with the reading.

my stats are as follows: male- 50 y.o. , vl (as of last Jan- 1.9 mil., stage 1 , grade 2.infected since the 70's? they are going to start the ball rolling with the insurance co. and order the drugs online. it could be a couple of weeks. my last bx was about a year ago, so we know i was a 1/2 then.
