Blood work

[Ninakm89]

Hey guys so I'm about 3 months into treatment and my liver enzymes are dropping like crazy but my doctor told me my virus is still detectable. She said I'm not moving as far along as he'd like but the treatment is working.  What does that mean?? That is still detected ? I'm almost done with incivik(thank god).

I was wondering about being three months. If you were on your 2nd shot on 12 Dec (and shot 5 on 30 Dec) then that puts you somewhere around week 7. If you add the previous week it seems like you would be on week 8.

That means you already had probably had your four week labs. If you are still detectable then like Can-do says it is looking like 48 weeks of treatment.

The reason I really posted though was to encourage you to start asking for hard copies of your labs. Week four determines treatment duration with Incivek and week 12 is an equally pivotal moment. Plus you can keep track of your Hgb and other indicators of how you are responding to the meds.

I am sure what your doctor means is that we all hope to be UND by week 4, that would be called an eRVR, but not everybodys response is that fast. So don't be discouraged many people here didn't clear at week 4 but have went on to become cured.......

Since your on Incivek your viral load will need to be under 1000 by week 12 and Und by week 24. From what little you have said it sounds like you should treat for 48 weeks if the above happens.......... Welcome and best to you
