"PS - An ever increasing number of physicians are starting to question the wisdom and benefit of INF combo therapy."

We are well aware of your opinions and I believe I have more experience than you with treatment. I have followed your posts and, in my opinion, many border on medical advice. Just be careful unless you have the correct letters after your name, best wishes...Mark P.S by the way, have you seen all the SVR reports lately? That should be very positive news for everyone.

From where I sit, it's common sense coupled with too much experience.
