I'm back...

Hello everybody.. Im back... Well, sort of. I am actually still recovering after the biopsy. Unfortunately, I had a pretty bad experience... I don't know what they did, probably didnt give me enough drugs, but I could pretty much feel everything. Oh well, at least is done a over with. I've been sick since then though. I'm going back tomorrow for a check up, cuz I've been dizzy and nauseous all the time since they did it.

The good news is that I already got back the results and I'm a stage 1, grade 3, which my doctor said is good. He said my Hep C is in the mild stages and that I don't have to start treatment right away. And considering that my boyfriend and I were gonna try to have a baby this year, I may decide to postpone treatment for later.
I want to thank you all for your support. Lots of hugs and prayers to you all....

" Excellent news! now just do some work on getting the grade 3 down a bit.
I am sure by now you have done lots to cut out alcohol and smoking and foods that may be disturbing your liver.
Keep on doing what you can to get yourself into your optimum health, and good luck with the addition to the family. "
