I've submitted the following to our AAPL. However, I would welcome
any information from Lactneter's who've experienced mothers facing taking
these medications for Hepatitis C. Please reply to me privately as I am
sadly no-mailright now.

Mother of a 16 month old has Hepatitis C. Her doctors are proposing to
treat her with two drugs for 6 months:

Intron-A(Interferon Alpha 2B) 3 x a week

Rebetol(Ribaviron) 3 capsules a day

Her toddler nurses in am and to sleep.

She is under a lot of stress with this health issue. She is scheduled to
start these in about three weeks.  Thanks for anyone's personal anecdotes
about helping mothers in a similar situation.
