Feeling:		- Ok
Gender:	Female
Age:	37
Interests: I LOVE the beach. Everything about it, the smell, the sound, the water, the sand...ohhh how I miss it! Some things I enjoy are swimming, reading, creative memories (scrapbooks), sudoku before bedtime (they say don't do anything that makes your brain work before bed but it puts me to sleep every night)!
About Me: I am 37 yrs old, have been married for 12 yrs and have 3 wonderful children (ages 7, 4 and 3). my husband has hep c genotype 3. He was also layed off back in September. Throughout this process I have been learning to trust God, to lay down my dreams and wants and to fully trust Him with my life and my family and our future.

My understanding is , that's the way it works. I was blessed and had no side effects other than being tired all the time but it cleared my virus from my system so now I have a great chance of keeping my new liver and not having to have a second transplant. you and him hang in there it will get better.

My husband of 12 years was diagnosed with hep c 4 years ago. He finally decided to seek treatment right before he was layed off last Sept. He is in wk 7 of tx. He has genotype 3 and at his 5 week appt we were told the virus was at non-detectable levels. He will most likely need to do 24 weeks of tx. We have 3 small children and have been through some difficult trials together but this has the rest beat. We are struggling.
Treatments
Pegylated Interferon (Working / Worked) blood wrk at wk 4 showed virus undetectable
Ribavarin (Working / Worked) blood wk at wk4 showed virus undetectable
