Hi everyone, I hope the battle goes well. I am just now seeing a wonderful benefit that I suspect is coming from my TX.

Has anyone been tested to see what IL28B genotype (CC, CT or TT) you belong to? It seems this is a fairly new test only performed by some labs. I see there is a new clinical trial to see if 12 weeks of total triple tx with Incivek will cure those with the CC type. Does anyone know if these all in the Genoty...
