Pre-Tx checkup?

[zero limit]

Hello to everyone - I received my the results of my 2nd bx last week.  Inflammation grade is much improved over the past 2 yrs.  No advancement (nor improvement )of the fibrosis, still stage 3 bridging. I continue to feel great with no apparent symptoms of the virus.

I have an appt this with the LPN week to discuss tx.  I asked my  gastro, about a pre tx health checkup and he said not to worry, he only wanted my eyes examined. ???  Oberserving here and elsewhere would indicate more than just my eyes need to be checked.  Agreed? Like heart, thyroid and kidney function tests, mental evelauation, and I don't know what else.  Surely there has to be more to it than just an eye exam.  

I've been reading the posts everyday and have learned alot reagrding the importance of baseline measureres pre tx, besides just LFT's and a PCR. I've also been paying attention to who's doing what to treat which sx, and when to the proper time may be to intervene with rescue drugs.

I'm seeking input from the group regarding what areas of concern should I be inquiring about during my next appt before I committ to allow this medical staff to manage my tx and associated sx. My thoughts are if they are behind the curve on this, I need to take my business elsewhere.  I'm in Seattle, so it shouldn't be to difficult to find a good medical team.

By sharing your experiences and how your doc's are managing your tx, is a huge help to all.  

Thanks and good health to all,

Thanks fella, I saw and answered your blurb lookin for me down in the post...Had a friend ask...
Just baked cookies and Irish soda bread w/the kid. See the doc Monday finally, although at BB and Jim's suggestion I tried to catch him Friday with no luck, sx seem to have kicked up. Put another notch in my belt today.. but it was just to hold my pants up. Wouldn't mind the wt loss if I had the energy to back it up. Tryin to stay awake cause I gotta do shot 31 after the breads done and then make the Easter Basket for a kid that now has 20lbs on me and wears it well. At least if I shrink enough the bill collectors won't be able to see me.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Don
