                  Thanks ! Trin. I should know by the end of next week. The Institute said they had financial assistance available for lower income without insurance. I think they will take the ball and run wit it. I'll take tx if they offer it... Who knows I might need it later and can't get it.
                 Do you know if hospital hire pharm tecc with hvc ? I was considering taking the course this fall. My sister is type 1 stage 2 and is starting tx tomorrow. I'm really worried about her. She has fibro m. and c.p.o.d. Her Dr. told her she will most like end up n oxogen the rest of her life whether the hep clears or not. I'm glad to hear your not having too hard of a time. Are you taking other drugs to counter the side effects? How often do you actually have to see you Dr? I'll be about an hour from mine.

Good luck woody - I'm 1a - stage 3.  Not the best news you can get but not the worst either.  I hope hope hope you get more favorable news.  Will the liver foundation also help with a liver biopsy as well?  Currently txing and in my 19th week.  I'm a year older than you and so far have eeked by without too many problems.  When you do get all your stats back and IF you are at stage 3, you may want to consider treating as soon as possible.  We run out of bartering time when the stagecoach number 3 rides into town.  Best to you woody -  you will get to see those grandkids!!!
