Glad to hear your happy.....yeah..I could do with running round the block a few hundred times. I lost a lot of weight on treatment, but it seems to have piled back on with a vengeance.

My religion is LOVE and I'm going to start enjoying the freedom that comes from that. Other than that, I'm too fat and need desperatly to lose weight.

My husband's first doctor was a complete jackass, and made my husband and I worry needlessly. We eventually found a MUCH better doctor, one who specializes in HepC treatments, and keeps up to date with new treatments. (we found him here, btw: http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hcv/drs/toc.html in case anyone needs it!)

It's a real quick procedure but you have to lay on your right side for four hours afterwards. Make a list of questions ahead of time so you can remember them when you get there.

I didn't see the actual consultant, but a nurse specialist and she started off by asking me what I knew about hepatitis C..Which when you think about it saves a lot of time. She explained all the bits that I didn't understand and talked about treatment. She said the first step would be a biopsy (which is done in day surgery, in and out the same day) and then depending on the result of that, they would decide if treatment was suitable. You might find it useful to write down any questions you want to ask. I always find I forget everything I wanted to ask and could kick myself after. The first appointment will be just to talk, no tests will be done, unless they want to take some more blood maybe.. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes..

With a specialist so we can get things going. Can anyone tell me what I can expect during this first meeting? I know it's still about a month away but I can't help but to be anxious.
