... the Pegassist treatment and after 6 weeks had to stop due to Anemia. I presume Epogen is the injection that my doctor is referring to. But cannot see any link to HepC. The reason I ask this is because on the Pgassist program I really had difficulty breathing and always out of breath. My doctor said that once I start (I presume) Epogen that I would get relief to the breathing problem and can recommence Pegassit. Reading online information Epogen seems to cause breathing problems. Could someone just direct me to information that links my reasons for Epogen and HepC
