Hi Birds, Bug and Shastri,

That was a fascinating study.  Makes me wish I'd held on for a few more weeks (I did 12 of riba and 13 of INF), but the doctor advised me not to.  I have an appt. next Tuesday in which I'll receive results of my latest PCR.  

I sure hope we all SVR, because the shorter the treatment can be, the better.  Here's hoping that the geno 1's can reduce the time they have to go through this as well.  I gather there's some new meds and protocols that might achieve that - Forseegood's Albuferon especially sounds exciting.

Best wishes for good health to all of us...

lets birdwatch and conduct an accurate count so now we are 3 birds, a bug and a bud.

Glad the study reached 3 fluttering birds instead of 2(a bonus!), a peppy bug and a blossoming bud.... wish you all the best!
