Now that the shock has subsided a bit, I'm going to visit the Hepatologist for a second opinion of what I should do from here. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to moniter my virus levels for a while but, at this point I'm wondering if this virus can kill me before something else does. I'm 55 so I figure I only have about 30 years left to live anyway. My VL was only 1,200,000 when I started and that was after having HCV for about 35 years and only being at stage 1.
I'm also going to find out when he thinks Vertex will release the VX950-Telaprevir. I know 2011 has been discussed here so hopefully the drug trial will stay on track and it will be available then. I've been doing some reading today and the response rate for Relapsers is very encouraging.
Thanks again for the support. The people here are really awesome.

Terrible news. I am so sorry.
There are new meds with your name on them and approval not too far down the road. Next time, you will triumph.

Its five with me that I know of who been writing in on this thread already, that has been where you are , its aweful being there hate that shock.
Time will heal i think frijolle said it all regroup heal then make decision.
Stay updated so you can take the optimal aproach next time, with you liver damage which very likely is less now after tx but even if not you can wait.
I woulden´t go for any trials and risk to low doses or placebo as its looking promising for new meds to be released soon.
My heart goes out to you as I know everyones elses also do .
God bless
