I crossed my naughty bits with a Venus Flytrap and now I’ve got something caught in my girlfriend’s zipper. I have no idea what the hell that means, but I just wanted to add my congratulations. Great news, Ayesha. ---

Congratulations, Ayesha, this is great news. And asking everyone to grope themselves is a change of pace from the usual requests for saying a prayer or thinking a good thought. ---

As someone who knows about 3 dozen people with Hep C, I say **WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!** {{{{ **Ayesha** }}}}} Can you share the particulars of your treatment? Here, or in E-mail? ---

\*\* spooje \*\*, Thank you and of course I’ll share ! I am on REBETRON™ Combination Therapy containing REBETOL® Ribavirin, Capsules (I take 6 200 mg pills a day of this. ) And INTRON A Interferon alfa-2b, recombinant ( I give myself 3 injections of this a week. In my stomach, which is my choice . It is a shot that is taken sub-que like insulin) It is commonally called “Combo” . You can find information on it here. [http://www.beincharge.com/pi/index.htm](http://www.beincharge.com/pi/index.htm) The doctors have discovered that the geno-type of Hep C you have is important when it comes to treatment. It’s sad that not only are there different types of Hep (A-G) more info here, ( [http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hcv/hepatitis/hepcontents.html\*\*](http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hcv/hepatitis/hepcontents.html**) ) but that the types have sub-types (Geno-Types). You can learn more about that here [http://hepatitis-central.com/hcv/genotype/predict.html](http://hepatitis-central.com/hcv/genotype/predict.html) I have geno-type 3 A which seems to respond well thankfully. I was on interferon alone for two years which put me in remission, but when treatment stopped I relapsed. There are new treatments being researched all the time you can find out about some of them here . [http://hepatitis-central.com/hcv/drugs/toc.html](http://hepatitis-central.com/hcv/drugs/toc.html) How’s that ? ---

Congratulations on your good news! I don’t even know you and I’m happy for you. But…I’m also clueless. Ihave a VERY close friend who has Hep C. She is healthy, and suffers no affects from it as far as I know. That is, as far as she tells me. I was unaware that this disease was treatable. But when she called me earlier in the week and told me that she finally found a physician who would treat her, I was thrilled! But now I’d LOVE to have more information from you guys. This friend of mine commented that drug therapy could be tough on her…make her sick similarly to chemo therapy. She mentioned Interferon. She also told me that her doctor gave her about a 70% chance of being CURED. She didn’t use the word “remission,” she said CURE. A cure? For a virus? Can anyone point me toward some basic information? I’m curious about this and worried about my friend and I’d love to know more about what’s going on. Of course, you don’t have to worry. I won’t foist my opinions and small amount of education on her. But I’d just like to know a little more about it because she and I have become so close. -L ---
