It is great to have 141 platelets . I was just asking because I was wondering if the procrit had helped raise you platelets. I would think with 141 platelets you don't have much liver damage. I started tx with just 60. When I was first diagnosed with hep c I had 107 . I love to see 141 that's great.

Thats great news,anemia is my biggest worry thats the only thing they said they would pull me from the trial for other than using illegal drugs or any meds not approved by them. Riba reduction is not an option in the trial unless in group 2 and it has to do with the concetration controlled part and they reduce it or maybe increase it. I will be allowed rescue drugs at 10 though. Hang in there.
