i have geno1a nd stage 2 and grade2? hope this is low.. kinda worried.. Can anyone shed some light

[cajunlady]

I was geno 1b, did 48 weeks of tx and just did 6 month post tx.  I am UND, start vl 5.3 million, did have to have anti-depressant drugs for sanity, only ones I needed though.  tulips right, no alcohol.  Your stats do not look that bad.  Tulips is right though, you need to prepare now for what you are about to experience.  You will probably run on about 50%, but it is doable.  I was able to continue to work, but I only work 5 hrs a day, 5 days a week, I do not have physical labor with my job.  Not all can work on tx., depends on the individual person and how their cbc's hold up.

Good Luck with your journey and stay in touch here, there is alot of support on this forum.  Just a life saver.

I forgot to say NO ALCHOHOL you have HepC and thats a no no! You should discuss perhaps getting on an  anti=depressant before treatment . ALot of people find it  helps.
Everyone 's sides are different so hopefully yours will be minimal. Most people however do struggle with many issues. So please discuss with your doctor VERY important.

Let us know how you do !
bye

no not till Christmas time....you need to prepare now and get things in order b4 tx so you dont have too much stress on you. For example your work load, family support etc.You might not be able to function 100% when treating.......most likely 50%.

Wish you the best.
take care

I am 2/2 also.
Stage 1- Inflammation
Stage 2- Fibrosis- Some Scarring
Stage 3- Bridging Fibrosis- More Scarring
Stage 4- Cirrhosis

Thats the easiest way I can explain it to you.
good luck with treatment.
Hopefully this was explained to you by your doctor and you asked questions.
