Day 27 (13 June 2007) Jon's Heptitis C Treatment

A good night's sleep - the usual heaviness on waking up.
Went to the hospital for regular specialist's appointment. Saw a different specialist today who is a colleague of my one - the practise likes everyone to see everyone. Being only a month into treatment it's early days - too early to assess from the blood tests yet about any impact treatment is having. We had an interesting chat and he said that in our area the success rate for Genotype 1 treatment is high - 60% to 65%, compared to the average 40%-50%. Here's hoping!
We talked about how I may have picked up Hepatitis C but no further ahead on that.
Picked up the next month's prescription of Interferon and Ribavirin.
Then to work and a busy day.
