I ;ive in Canada also. there is not many of us here as you will notice, I was diagnosed in March of this year and am still going through tests and ill be starting sometime in new year. I too will probably be on Vic this is my 1st time tresting have had it maybe 20-25yrs doc sees not much damage so far but biopsy will be the true test , hope he is right . I am hoping this will eork for me and will also have very minimal sx so I can keep working and maintain a semi normal life while on treatment , read as much *** you can and this is a great place for support a lot of experienced people here who have finished triple tx .

My husband was a non-responder 3 times prior and is finally responding well with Victrelis.  He is getting close to shot 12. He doesn't really seem to have many more SX with Victrelis than he had with just Interferon and Ribavirin.  At least nothing that has bothered him a whole lot more than the other.He is cirrhotic, by the way.  He gets plenty of SX with plain old Interferon and Ribavirin but Victrelis hasn't made it much worse, and it is actually and finally, doing the job.
My best to you both,
Ev
