12 week results
« on: December 13, 2010, 08:08:34 PM »
Just got my 12 week viral load results.  628 of the little buggers survived.  Still, it was a 4.06 log drop from my initial 7.7 million so I'm signed up for a least another 12 weeks of treatment.  Oh boy!!  Hopefully I can rid myself of these last hangers on.

while not UND, those are great numbers.   I think going another 12 is a good idea.  I bet you will und within a week.

Keep on going, you are responding.  A 2 log drop at week 12 is considered EVR... EARLY Viral Response.  So a 4 log drop is better, right?  Yes, keep it going, and finish killing the  :dragon:

Yes for sure keep going, I was just over a 2 log drop at week 12 became UND between 12 and 24 weeks and just had results from 48 weeks still UND. Now the wait for the Post Tx results in few months.

So go for it and I wish you the best for success!!
