Hi Greg, I missed all of this. I just popped on now and was reading your post and everyone's comments. I'm sorry I am so late but I want to tell you how sorry I am to hear this bad news. I must be really brain fogged, how did this get by me. I know what you are going through, first hand. It's a real bummer! I am thinking about the new meds, mind you, just thinking. I was so sure that it just wasn't for me but I have been giving it a slight consideration. You can do it and this time you will win the war!
Everyone's reply posts were on the money. You are a true trooper and always ready to extend a helping hand to everyone. In return I can speak for everyone when I say, we will be here for you, when you need a helping hand or just to talk. In the meantime enjoy the no meds feeling and know that this is just a pit stop before your destination.
Lots of hugs, Dee

Hey Greg,
You are as always so generous.
So what's doing with you? Maybe you've posted updates that I've missed, but I'm wondering what your body parts are saying to you these days, and what you say back to them. How are the sx?
Are you thinking of heading back to school? Pros and cons?
And are you with the same doctor?
Best to you, will let you know when I know more about my own battle,
renata

Hi Greg,
I'm a newbie and you don't know me, but I feel as if I know you well from your posts (and from that bring-you-to-your-knees Avatar Photo). Your posts were, out of everything I saw on this forum, what convinced me to join. You got some Big Heart and Strong Spirit. I hope along this journey to get me some of the same. And I look forward to your updates on what you have in mind for that Dragon of ours.
Best to you,
Renata

Greg,
I just saw this . . . . I am sorry to hear this, but heartened by the fact that you will have better options coming down the pipe. Like so many have said, I've appreciated your support and input, and I'm hopeful this will turn out to be a "bump in the road".

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful words, I must apologise if my first post sounded cold and detatched, it was literally minutes after I heard the news that I posted. I'm feeling great to be honest as I know where I stand now and am announcing a RE-MATCH as soon as the new therapy hits our shores.
As everyone has said my liver is much better off now and it is, so really I'm healthier now and intend to stay that way.
I will be taking it easy for a while doing the odd jobs around the house that have been neglected and I have withdrawn from uni this semester as I was getting way too stressed but managed to get one assigement in and scored 90% so that's very encouraging.
I'll still be lurking about most likely in the SeedyBar next to the Jukebox and will be still chatting with you all my dear friends.
I love you all, Greg

Oh no Greg, so very sorry to hear this, it`s not what we were all hoping for. What can I say...only repeat what the others have said, you have always been such a warm and generous person on the forum, and I hope that if you feel up to it you will keep in touch...we are all here for you and for Cate any time.
I could cry for you, but I know that in a lot of ways it must be a relief to stop the meds at this point, and at least you will have given the dragon a damned good thrashing.
Take it easy for a while Greg, let yourself recover, and then when you`re ready go in for the kill with the new meds. The dragon might have won the battle but it hasn`t won the war.
My thoughts are with you, love and hugs, Jill xxx

Greg that does suck but you have helped your liver already. The new drugs hopefully will knock this darn dragon's socks off. Get some r & r and come back into the boxing ring!!!!!

So sorry to hear this, Greg.
I hope you're taking it easy after tx and you have a fast recovery.
You know that the new drugs are proving very successful if you decide to give them a go, but right now, enjoy that feeling of no meds.

Greg, that sucks! but with all the new txs in the pipeline, I know there's something out there for you. I'm still feeling good after my 3rd shot yesterday am, so I do think I may be getting INF Lambda in my trial, don't know which PI though. But there is hope for a cure with fewer sx. This inf Lambda looks pretty good. My worst ongoing sx is a 4" itchy spot at the injection site - I can live with that...

Greg, I am so sad to hear your news. But, as Kistin said those new drugs should do the job for you when you decide to treat again and you've given your liver a boost just by being on the two.
I agree with the others that you have been a very positive force on the forum since you came on and you and Cate have cheered me many times when I was down. Don't give up the good fight, we are going to beat this thing. Take care buddy, ty

Thanks for letting us know. I feel so bad for you... I'm sure you will regroup and consider your options, but for now you have done all you could. Just have faith.

Hi Everyone,
Just had a call from my GP and was told that I'm still detected. Rang nurse Roz and spoke with her and told her, she was not happy that my GP told me, but it was my request that he did, anyway I can stop taking my meds as of now, which is great.
Cate is going away for a week so will have the Dance around the fire when she gets back. I'm disappointed yes but it has been a life changing experience in a very positive way.
I have so many people to thank for their love and support during the last 26 weeks and I will message them over the next few days. To all the new shooters don't let this dragon win.
