He is undergoing a NEW TREATMENT using a combination of Ribavirin, Pegasys and a drug that was just approved for the treatment of hepatitis c- Nitazoxanide (Alinia). He was diagnosed 6 years ago with Genotype 4. In 2003, he tried combo therapy- Pegasys and Ribavirin. He cleared the virus at six months but relapsed. Until now, there was nothing to do but wait for a new drug. This is it. So he is trying again with the addition of Nitazoxanide (Alinia).

Thank You for Your Comments & Support
Sometimes I feel so isolated. It's really hard watching someone you love deteriorating right before your eyes; and there is nothing that you can do, because the very thing that is eating them up inside is the only hope of a cure. But when I get your comments, I know that I am not alone. We are not alone. And I thank you so much for being there!! You are the best medicine ~ for my husband and for me. So I just want to say thank you.
