Don't worry about computer skills - I understood you ....<br /> And I know what you mean about feeling SCARED! I did too! <br /> And I now think that the run-up to the start of treatment is one of the hardest parts - dreading all those meds in me but hardly able to wait to start and get on with it. Mynurse is very supportive and I trust her to look out for me - as I am sure she will look out for you.<br /> <br /> Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing, Ann <br /> <br /> All the best<br /> <br /> Ron<br /> Hi Ann – Good to hear from you – no problem whether you leave a comment on the blog or email me direct!

Incidentally, I hate to sound ignorant, but is Great Britain on socialized medicine? I have two insurances and it is saving me a bundle. Withtout insurance, this is the monthly cost of my meds:

Neupogen, about $900 a month;
PEGIntron, about $1,500 a month;
and Ribivarin, about $900 per month.

I thank God for good insurance! I guess those that don’t have insurance just get sick and die.

Grace and peace,
