6 months PCR

[quak]

Hey gang -- remember me!  I haven't been writing much but I have been lurking around.  Things have changed a bit -- what's with all these icons and advertising.  

Anyway, I just wanted to share with all my pals that I got my 6 months results:  HCV RNA, QN, PCR <1.70
                 HCV RNA IU/mL <50

So this means that I'm cleared post 6 months.  HURRAY

I'm 1a bx grade 1 did 1 year of pegasys/rebetrol and cleared at 12 weeks 24 weeks and now post 6 months still clear.  

This was my favorite place to come and share and listen to all of you.  God bless you guys and please hang in there -- it will get better.

Lots of love, Lori

I cl'ed @ 18 days.  My doc tests way early.  For some, like me 2b, the meds work w/in 2 wks.  It certainly makes the next 22wks pass quickly.

WHAT IS PCR?

This is "Great News" indeed! I too am a geno 1 I'm only at the begining of this journey...still waiting for a biopsy and then on to treatment! I found out about having HepC in Dec and have battled the HMO since then! It's very incouraging to read about geno 1s achieving SVR!  The cards are kinda stacked against us so, this news is the greatest to hear and gives us all HOPE!!
Positive thoughts your way, Annette

Congratulations, Lori. That's the kind of good news that makes me realize why I come here. Best wishes and continued good health.

Hi Kim, Sorry no one here has been able to help so far.  Seems its more important to fight with each other and call each other names.  I'm doing Pegasys, but not the pens.  If you don't get a reply here soon, try the roche pegassist site (not sure of spelling)  as they have an assist program where they'll answer questions.  So does SP.  Otherwise I'd stop in your docs with last weeks, and have them show you, or make an appointment to have them help do next weeks.  Tracer, hang around.  Thhis disfunctional family will get it together before long!
