This is my 3rd kick at this dragon. My first time in 99 was the same as Marks for 6 months, there where permanent side effects that disable my body from doing the thing I use to do. The second time was in 05,06,07 for 72 weeks using Pegalated interferon and Ribavirin. It took me almost 1 year to recover most of my health before I could even think about returning to work. I have just started the 3rd try this November and am 4 weeks into the new treatment and will start the Victreils on Thursday. Third times a charm.

Mark,
What a determined brave soul you are and
Obviously A great husband.
Julie it's my 2nd time. Tried med 11 years ago.
Null responder and genotype 1a. Tx was 9 months.
No new options available till triple tx.
My motivation: 1st time: beat hep c
While liver healthy
2nd time: I have cirrhosis and chance
To beat it w Invicek. Main motivation do
Not want transplant or cancer
I really wish we could do Journal 7977
But drug companies fighting over making their
Own. It has helped those in the trail
That failed other times.
Pray it arrives on market soon. It's 12 week
Program! Awesome.
Hang in there guys, JoAnne

Yes, this is my 5th time on treatment. First did interferon 3X weekly for six months back in the "good ole days". Back then you had 2 vials for each dose, 1 with powder and 1 with liquid. You had to inject a measured quantity of the liquid into the powder vial then draw up the prescribed dose. I've had as little as a 4 week break between treatments and as much as 6 years(had to end double treatment last time due to SX). My main motivation is my wife, I have to outlive her, if only by 1 day, I cant handle the thought of leaving her alone.

I have just started weekk #9 on tx and got to wondering about those out there who have done drug therapy more than 1x.

  • Have you guys been on tx multiple times (or mono or double)?
  • Do you get any sort of break between therapies?
  • I am not sure if I could do another round. What was your motivation?

Just wondering is all! smile
