will do Jill. thanks for letting me know. i did not want to get all wrapped up in searching again when there are so many things happening. i just knew that i couldn't do the protease inhibitor anymore. hopeing for something,.,. 

Hi Tazkat, good to hear from you again, and great news about your viral load drop.   Are you having any treatment for the varicies?  You should be eligible for a trial, and as you`ve already done treatment with incivek you`ll need one that doesn`t include a protease inhibitor.  Gilead is the best bet for you, and they are running trials for tx-experienced people.   I would definitely ask your new hepatologist about them when you see him in September.   Good to hear you`re still hanging in there!    ~ Jill

Well things are pretty much the same. if u don't remember which i am sure most of u don't, i did the incevik last yr & relapsed in may2012. We have a new hepatologist in MIss. where i live & my visit in march was pretty good. i really like him. My last viral load done in march had gone down from 555,000 to 276,000. i go back to him in sept. i am hoping & praying for a new med for us non repsonders to every freakin thing that comes out.  lol My EGD showed grade a esphogus varcies. nurse said that was good. i am bout to go get more milk thistle & take every day again. So waitin on news for anything new, i haven't even researched for anything.  Hepatologist said there were any new trials that came up that i could do, i would be in.  Cheers to everyone & so happy for everyone that has cleared. Us non responders are just hard headed i guess. :)  Later  TazKat
