Hi Jonny,
Tx can stand for treatment, and sometimes transplant. Most of the time in here, it stands for the interferon/ribavirin treatment, unless otherwise specified. Here’s a page that helps explain the alphabet soup of acronyms used in here:

This page is also available in the lower right-hand margin of this page, in the box titled ‘most viewed health pages’. Try saving this to favorites or hard drive. Welcome to the discussion group, by the way—

Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for your help. I am still trying to learn the site. I could not find the favorites on the site(if that is what you meant), so I just book marked it in firefox.
Thanks for clearing this up for me, as now I know that tx most likely means treatment.
Thanks for the welcome, it is a great site, everybody is so nice and helpful to me`-`
Thanks for the help,
Johnny
Yeah, I just meant to bookmark it somewhere. Have you looked through Janis and Friends as well? Bookmark this one, too:

look through the items listed in the right hand margin under ‘other HCV information’; this site is very informational.
Take care—
Bill
I just went to the Janis and Friends website and that is bookmarked as well, thank you so much for pointing that out to me.
I don't see the link, but it is really late here, I think that I need to go to sleep, can barley keep my eyes open. I am sure I will see it tomorrow.
thanks so much!
Johnny
