[hopeful51]

I posted I was to start new triple th. in Sept with a fourth therapy to also be added. I was going to Virginia Mason in Seattle for all this treatment. insteaded I decided to fall down my staris an break my ankle tibia fibia and  
do lots of soft tissue damage. After cast was removed I had open sores and of course they infected and am now seeing a wound Doc. All is starting to heal and am in physicl therapy.Hope to be walking soon.
Here is my hep ? during all this I had my 6 month cbc run and for the first time my Albumin is low 3.3 on a 3.4 to 4.8 range . How concerned should I be My viral load super high 126000. Virginia Mason is holding a spot for me some good news. Hope to see them Jan 10th if I can walk by then.

I was wondering if all the oxycodine I was on might have effected my test results. I am no longer on it.
Will post when I know more about trial at Virginia Mason.

Hector are you in treatment have been watching your posts for a very long time and am always interested in what you have to say.

Yep I have tx twice before and not sure which is the worse of the two anklle or tx
I have tried to get some information out of my Hep Doc and also the nurse who is helping me at Virginia Mason,no one is telling me any thing about this 4th therapy till I see them. I do beleive it is some sort of trial very tight liped till they see me and am not sure when that will be.
Wanting to start tx soon would like to have invik. done before start of summer.
I'll post more when I find out.
Take Care..

Yikes...some folks will do just about anything to delay treatment..:0)

Seriously though, hope you are feeling better and the ankle heals quickly,and would agree ,to get that all out of the way before you take on the tx. challenge.

You say you are going to start triple therapy with a fourth therapy added?

Is this a trial you are going to be entereing or treating clinically with 4 meds?

Best..
Will

A few months makes no difference as far as when you treat. You need to be ready physically and emotionally that is the most important thing.

"Albumin is low 3.3". It could mean something or not. We need other liver function test results to draw any conclusions.
What about bilirubin, creatinine, INR/PT and platelet count?
What stage of liver disease were you diagnosed with? (Biopsy report).
"My viral load super high 126,000." No it is considered very low.

Allow yourself to heal before taking on hepatitis C.

Good luck.

Wow, that is a series of unfortunate events.  I hope your fracture heals well and your wounds heal as well.  Are you diabetic by chance?
