        Hello…   I was wondering if anyone out there has tried this treatment (Peginterferon) since its FDA approval earlier this year.   My oncologist has recently recommended it for me.   I tried the traditional Interferon, but only got thru a handful of my IV treatments before the side effects were too much for me.  After allowing some time to rest and heal a bit more, this is the course of action he thinks is best.   I'm starting in just a few weeks, and I'll admit, after trying regular Interferon, I'm a bit nervous.    Any words of wisdom?
