Thought I would introduce myself, my name is Lisa, I just recently
dx, Sept 17th this year. I am finially over the initial shock of it
all and the Doc's are moving pretty aggressivly...
I just move to Pheonix, about 4 months ago, went to the Mayo Hospital
to have emergency female surgery, and low and behold, liver enzymes
were high........... Red Flads went flying everywhere...
Long Story short, I have geno 1b, stage 1, with very little
scarring. They think I have had it about 2 years less, as I was
tested for it 3 years ago for insurance purposes and was negative...
I never have used iv drugs nor had a blood transfusionn, not sure h
ow I got it, but I guess that is irelevant now...
I start tx on the 20th of this month, my Hepatologist thinks I am a
good canidate to try... So I am trying to get geared up for that...

I,m real scared....but hey...I gotta try to at least give my body a
fighting chance..
I haven't told many family memebers yet, so it can be difficult w/
out friends to talk too....
Anyways, I just wanted to say hi....

And say that I will be praying for all of you, and I am looking
forward to making some new friends...
Hugs Prayers to you all
Lisa
