pegasus news

Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.

Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?

I am 22 yr old and i have hepatitis c genome 3 and i am taking pegasus\once weekly and ribavirin since 19-6-08 my question is have i to do weekly CBC or I can do every 2weeks before the injection ?

this makes me feel a lot better that im on my way to getting my life back..only one thing i dont like,ill be doin the pegatron.i would have loved to get the pegasus...i did the peg before...cant have it all ..my VL is still a 5 mill...beats 23 mill...that was my very first reading ...cant wait to start....and why didnt i get a blackbery instead of the PDA??...

My hair didnt start falling out in clumps till my last month of pegasus ribavirin treatment, I'm done now, how long till my hair stops falling out??

The cost for one month Incivek in Canada $14000 + 2000$ for the Pegasus. Now I need to scramble to find the finances to cover the cost and then hope the turn-around time with the insurance is under a month or I'll be totally screwed next month. Maybe she should have chosen the Victrelis. The cost would have been split over more weeks that way. Beware.

Pegasus and Dr. Lupo, I have almost the exact same thing. I have a multicystic nodule on my left thyroid and every now and then i get a pain in my neck followed by a minor sore throat and some hoarseness due to a cough i usually only get when it flares up. I recently have been getting an upset stomach almost everytime i eat and i thought it was due to my acidic levels.

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

Oh no. This is terrible news. I remember you. I remember sending you the Berg study. I did not realize you decided to do the 72. I am so sorry and can only try to picture the heart ache you must be experiencing after all that time and effort. At least, to look on the bright side, as a relapser you have a good shot at success with telaprevir, but of course that does not take away the pain for now.

I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.

I am 15 weeks into the 3 drug treatment wmyith incivek. I've been walking around with C for 20+ years and finally tests started going up,viral load etc.My doc suggested I try this triple theropy,I did and Im now totally clean.She took me off the incivek at 13weeks see her this week to discuss my options. Going to 6 months with the Pegasus and rabaverin or go the complete 52 weeks.I'm all for stopping everything ASAP.

I am about to start Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy for the second time. My doctor said that I may not have been on this Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy long enough the first time. I did it for 11 months. would be interested to here opinions of what myi chances are of the treatment being sucessful this time around. I was really suprised that it come back. The first time I did the treatment I became anemic and looked like a ghoast until I was able to start procrit.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

t liver related so we are good. I will get a copy of it tomorrow. he also said that my liver looked good which is awesome news. I have to say I am pretty baffled by this disease. They believe I have had Hep c for over 35 years. Elevated liver enzymes for at least 5 years and every thing looks good?? I am thrilled and grateful, but curious, are there others out there that have a similar experience???? How reliable is a cat scan for liver damage? I have my biopsy scheduled for Sept. 12th....
