4th times a charm I hope
« on: November 04, 2011, 05:59:55 PM »
Today I start my 4Th battle with this beast! I know what to expect and I feel like a war vetran redeploying again. My family are the greatest because they know how tough it will be on all of us. I have a good suppot system, my brother and his wife live in the other side of a duplex. I am doing the 3 med Tel, Rib and Peg this time 48 weeks my last treatment was 72 weeks of daily injections of infergin and rib I relapsed 2 months post treatment. I am praying that the 4Th time is a charm.

So, can we call you 4th timer, just for good luck?  :grin: :wink:

One of our resident tx guru's, banarep, treated 3 times, the 3rd with telaprevir (in the Realize trial) and it was the charm for him. I think, based on all the RVRs, that we're going to see a lot of success, so hopefully this will be the case for you too.

All the best to you, fight to win!

This one has its quirks, but beats heck out of Infergen.  I only managed 39 weeks on that so gotta give you a nod for 72. 

Wait till you get a look at how fast VL falls.

as a 3peater, I know what you are feeling.  But all signs point to a positive outcome this time.  Good for you.
