I've been a non-responder to 4 different treatments....inf monotherapy, high dose combo, high dose daily Infergen and Peg. I use the Peg as a maintenance drug at this point. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in 1991. Tell your hubby I am still alive and well and active and doing my thing. I am sure your viral load will have probably dropped if not gone undetected. If the Peg combo is your first try at treatment you have a decent chance to be a responder. I hope you can get him to relax a bit. You're gonna be fine. What did your biopsy say?

Chickened out twice, and now Dr. won't give me one until he gets the Viral Load Results

The biopsy may put your husband's mind at ease. At least you'll know where you stand.

Have a great weekend, Judi.

Thanks, Susie, You too. And thanks for the post, I called Bill in here and he read it and did feel better. Take Care.
Can't believe that I was chicken-that was the denial coming out. Not usually my style, but I guess that sometimes we go against instinct and suffer the consequences. I am just sorry that Bill is the one suffering right now.
Peace and love.

I am on the Peg-Intron study myself as we speak. When I start I had a low viral count of 138,000 now it is down to 0. I still have to stay on the study for about 38 more weeks. I also wanted people to know if You are a genotype 1 it will be hard to get rid of the virus. They prefer people with genotypes 2 and 3 if you don't know what that is ask Carol or Susie they might know, because I don't myself.
