hi, hate to be so public in telling you this, but I have no other way really.....you and I have always been in "somewhat" the same boat in terms of how we've been dealing with our disease, anyway, I had a fibroscan today, like a few other members here....and I think it would be great for you to get one too, great relief off my mind and there are no big gauge needles to deal with! You probably know it's a scanning procedure, that gives you images of the entire liver...anyway, don't know if you do, but if so, Ina has my info and I could get you in touch with the good doctor, it's here in Los Angeles in a fairly beutiful setting...hope youre well...
Just taking a chance, don't even know if youre still reading...maybe so...

Willing: hat's part of my running argument with Jim about the limited value of getting tests at a sensitivity greater than that of prevailing studies).
---------------------------------------
Gee, been so long, I almost forgot, but since you brought it up:)
Others like Gish have written on the advantages of more sensitive tests, but according to "zazza" in the following thread, so has "Berg" who you often reference. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Hepatitis/messages/45392.html
Unfortunatly, it appears to be in German, so if zein das not spreichen (sp?) :), maybe you can throw it one of those online translators or wait until HR comes.
Be well,

Yes, I'm still a patient of Dr. C. I'm happy to have access to someone like him. When I finally decide to treat, I believe I'll be in good hands.
Hope you're having an enjoyable Sunday. Spring has finally sprung here. Blue skies and warmer temps. Love it!
Take care,
Susan

Take your time...I'm battling the same "mother of all colds" that you are. I'm not feeling up to par, either. Hang in there.

I just started a Z-pack for my throat, and feeling not up to par. If you don't mind checking every so often, I'll respond soon.

Holy cow!
A whole bunch of old liverlovers all in one thread. I don't get in here often anymore, but this post definitely smoked me out :).
Special hello to Willing; what a surprise; didn't expect to see you around until mid-may, for the '07 DDW stuff. Stick your nose in more often, or as time allows anyway...
Kath; I keep missing you in here. I've gone back over some old posts in here where you've tried to flag me, but by the time I see them, they're half way down the next page. If you get a moment, try me at w dot keyes at att dot net (this goes for all in here as well) and maybe we can get caught up?
Tall Blond/Susan, great to see you stop in as well. I hope you're doing well-- good to see you posting again. Are you still driving south of the river to see Dr. Cecil?
All the rest of you old f@arts take good care as well, and I'll see you around. Just to update, I'm currently in Tx number two, week 26 of 72. Peg-intron 200+ mics/week with ribavirin 2000 mg/day. Undetectable <5 as evidenced by TMA sometime between week 4 and 8. Side effects are minimal; blood looks good with Hgb staying up into the mid-12's.
Again take real good care all--
