Hi All my name is duke8282 I have been with you for a couple of days. I received a warm welcome for Morpheus yesterday. I to have the Hep c virus,
I have had it for 5 years that I know about. I had a 3x heart bypass in 2001,and in 2003 I had complications and was back in the Hospital. It was then that I found out about the Hep. On the good side my VL load has been .25mil for five years, all other tests look good. My next test is the biopsy. Don't know when as of yet, should be soon.Wish all well Duke8282 Posted on 05/16/08, 06:05 pm |

DOn't sweat the biopsy-it's a breeze. Tell them you are nervous and they will give you a lil something. It does not hurt (the test). Welcome to our group. I am here also if you need me. Beth

Welcome aboard to the best site in world-in my opinion of course...
Bless you and pray that your bx goes great...if it helps make ya feel better I was shocked when bx'd. I've had HepC for over 30 yrs (not recognized then but non-a/B) and just dx in 7-07 - also drank entire 30 yrs - bx shocked me only Stage 1/Grade 1. My VL was 23,million, at 1st test went to 46,000 and then at 3 mo was undectable! So you can SO do this dear...we will be here rooting for ya and helping in any way possible. Again welcome to the most supportive, information, loving group of people that became my lifeline thru this process...I am now at mo 7 of 12 and kicking butt and hope same for you!!! Keep us posted on biopsoty - will keep fingers/toes crossed for ya! xoxo
