Hi,
Hank from you website said to post to 'expert corner' I hope I am posting correctly.
My name is Barb and i just found out I have HCV. If I had to guess I would say I have had it for nearly four decades. I will be sixty soon.
ALT: 23(0-50), AST: 21 Platelets: 237 VL: 1050000 Genotype: 2
I have an appointment in the US on 7/17, with a GI physicians assistant, and really don't want to wait that long to be told i can't afford the treatment here. I want to cut to the chase, consult with Dr James Freeman and get on with treatment. I have no idea where to get a fibroscan, if needed. I don't know know if the APRI is an accurate test, but mine in under .5.
Anyhow, any guidance or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, so much and I am so happy to have wonderful folks like yourselves in my corner.
