24 WEEKS UND! A LITTLE GOOD NEWS TODAY!
« on: January 17, 2012, 12:59:14 PM »
Week 24 labs show still UND, yay!  However, due my partial response and relapse last time around, I will still have to treat for 48 weeks.  I can deal with that knowing my chances are good for SVR.  Below is an excerpt from a note from my dr.

'The week 24 blood test results look very good.  The virus is still non-detectable, the blood counts are stable.   You have had a very good response to treatment, being negative at weeks 8, 12 and 24.  This puts your chances of cure well above 70%.'
Just wanted to share.  Best wishes and SVR to all!

Yikes! Did 24 wk clinical trial with Lambda Interferon. UND at week 12 & 24. Relapsed after one month. No VL test at weeks 4 & 8. I would get myself tested at week 4 and 8 next time I treat if the doc doesn't order it.
