I've been test and positive for hep c- had another test that said I was genotype 1a and vital load 1.2 million. My doctor has sent two referrals to specialist but they are waiting on the doctor to approve and except me as a pt.
what are the looking for? Has anyone else been waiting is this normal?

Hi Becca,
Don't worry, waiting time is usually few weeks/even few months in Uk to arrange appts
About that time in States too as I lived there two years
Your VL isn't that high
Mine has been four million
It can go up much more than that and your liver still be ok.
Official processes take time
Doesn't mean you're unsuitable in any way or anything wrong.
All good wishes for your recovery

Its normal. I was 1a or 1b, they are the hardest geno types to kill but the new drugs now will kill it. Waiting is normal but you can always call in with a polite request if they know how much longer it will take, they may tell you the doctors name. You have a long road abead with great possible outcomes so try to relax and just do the footwork and the waiting. I remeber finding out so well. Its a lot for the mind to adjust to. Vest wishes
I have just been told I have geno 1a also. I to am also playing the waiting game so I wouldn't worry. Know what you mean though I just want yo get better ASAP.
Given a second chance 🌞
