Lloyd,
                      
I talked to him Saturday.  He has chosen NOT 
                        to do the Interferon
                        therapy.  The definitive decision for him came after 
                        he met someone who
                        had used Interferon and shared with him about the experience. 
                         He said it
                        was "hell" 
                        while he was on it and he NEVER feels good anymore after 
                        he
                        completed the treatment.  Plus, it didn't work.
                        
                        I feel like for now, it is the best decision for him to 
                        wait.
                        
                        Thanks for your help.
                      
I had asked one more question about the biopsy.
                        Would you suggest it or not?

                      J.L.,
                      Not.
                      I do however suggest an ultra sound.  If there is 
                        anything there that
                        needs a biopsy it will be seen.  The biopsy 
                        is required by the FDA
                        guide lines for prescribing interferon so they, 
                        the doctors want to push
                        it as their next step in prescribing and their next check 
                        from schering.
                      I am very happy he decided not to do it.
                       In good health
                        Lloyd
