        Great news, Kathie.  I don't post much any more, so glad I did today to hear the news from another oldtimer on the board.

                            Just my opinion.  I was classified IIC back in Sept 1997 and given odds of 20% for five year survival.  I did the full 12 month course of interferon and am still NED going on 14 years.  Unlike most, I had very high dosage of Inf, even though I'm not particularly large (abut 190 lbs at the time).  The dosage was 60 million units five days/week durung the 4 week infusion phase, 25 million units three times/week  by self-injection during the second 48 week phase.  I credit my survival to the high dosage of Inf.
