After 16 days of waiting, the results came today to show that I do not have cirrhosis of the liver nor do I have liver cancer. Whew! I've been referred to a hepatologist and I see him on Tuesday of next week.
The next step is seeing this new doc, have him go over all of my test results, and decide with me on treatment. 99.999% sure it will be Interferon & Ribaviran combo for 48 weeks. It's a tough treatment but the idea of being hep c free is most inspiring.
I realize that although having this nasty virus sucks, I am so fortunate to have the doctors that I do. My friends on the UK forum that I participate in have to wait weeks before they can see a specialist. I make same day appointments with my doc and this specialist appointment is 5 days away and that's only because he only works in that office on Tuesday so I had to wait until he was there. It's something I would have taken for granted.
As far as the eastern practices I've incorporated, acupuncture went well today and still doing my research on a Reiki Master to teach me self-reiki. Meditation has been extremely helpful in calming the nerves and finding inner-peace.
I hope this finds everyone well.
Adam
