YOU SAID, "There is a new three-prong treatment on the horizon. I will know more about this in November. If I do not receive a date this time, I am going on as if the illness is something I shall have to cope with in this life. Your son, being much younger, I would give it a bit more wait."
Can you please explain this 3 pronged treatment in the future? Is it for anyone with hep c or just for hep c1? My son has hep c2b, which is the easiest to cure I've read. We went tot he infectious specialist today and I guess he starts interferon now in 3 weeks because this Dr. is going to Boston first to find out the latest and greatest.
This Dr. scared the ever-lovin'-heck out of my and my ex husband with all kinds of nightmares about how people lose their minds while on interferon and my son is already afraid. I got angry with the Dr. and I said, "I've read and know people that had interferon that worked the entire time and had very little side effects, you make it look like everyone loses their mind" And then he told me that yes many people experience no problems.
