the only place we have for expert opinion seems to be the univ of miami. Do you know anything about the trail dr. in bradington (?) or gainsville. They never seem to be mentioned.

Hey, glad to hear you found the place, hope my directions helped.. From what I've heard out of there, the coordinator for the trials, is leaving the group.. Might want to call her and get specifics, and ask who will be taking her place. She is the lady who adminstered the Fibroscan on me, and oversees almost all the trials under Schiff. I corresponded with Jeffors during tx via email, suprisingly from a posted email addy available on the web by just running a simple seacrh..Very, very confident guy..
But on a serious note, what did you end up wearing?

Fl Guy, thanks for the info about your consult!  You are SO on the road to getting this thing GONE!  Have you thought more about what your course of action will be, or are you going to take your time making a decision?  I will be thinking of you and I am interested in keeping up with what you decide!

NYGirl, I have seen a lot of info saying that geno 3's are relapsing more and might consider the longer treatment.  Can you point me in the direction of information about geno 2's?  Each time you mention this, I forget to ask.  I am curious for articles or other info that indicates geno 2's should now treat more than 24.  Thanks!

Amirtracy, you cleared early on right?  I truly believe that you did not hurt your chances for SVR by reducing to a dose that is now weight based for you.  Hang in there.  I hope you are feeling better!
