hello

HCA: The prospects for non-responders are much better now so you have every reason for optimism that he can be cured next time round.
------------
Very well said. With newer drugs, hopefully the days of the non-responder are numbered.
What genotype does he have?
There are new drugs on the way-probably early 2011.
There are no special vitamins needed,just healthy balanced diet.
No alcohol.
Advice? Make sure he is seeing a good hepatologist.
Have regular monitoring.
Enjoy life until he can get onto a better treatment regime-worrying is counter productive.
