New drugs

Hi all,
Just had a 6 month check up with my Liver specialist who treated me last year, and I relapsed.  Since my fibrosis is stage 1, grade 1, he wants to watch and see as he says the new drugs have NOT been approved yet for Gen 2, relapsers.  Has anyone heard anything different regarding new drugs?

I am having an MRI of liver as still showing some lesions, and they want to rule out cancer.  2008 MRI just showed Hemangiomas,, so hopefully that is the case again this time.

Thanks for the feedback!

you must be beyond p.o.
i am glad that your stage is low. i do expect that soon there will at least be trials for us geno 2 folks. i think the large number to geno 1 made it a priority for the pharmas but treatment for 3 is in trials and i hope soon for 2s. so sorry. hang in there. babs
