I relapsed

[jt57]

I got my 8 wk post tx results.   I am so upset that I am not undetected anymore.  My viral load is at 2,700.  I am really torn on what I should do.  But the good news was that my ast/alt were normal for the first time in a very long time.

I’m very sorry to hear this too. The first time I treated, I had poor initial response with Pegasys; I retreated within 5 months with Pegintron and eventually cleared; now SVR. I also did some high-dose footwork whithin all that, but the point is there is hope.

You’ll eventually prevail—

Yes. I will definately research this.  I had problems with platelets, as low as 40, hgb hovered around 8, until procrit, then it stayed around 9, and my white count stayed around 1.8 to 2.

So Infergen is tougher?

I am sorry to hear the news. We will be here for you.

Put 'daily infergen' in the search box at the top of the page, you'll get over 800 different threads worth of opinions. Never done it myself, so can't say.

sorry for your bad news. do you know what week you cleared the virus during tx? how often did you do PCR's during tx? did you have a end of treatment of TX test or any "post" tests before this 8 week test?
I agree about waiting for the new drugs. I personally would not do infergen. If I had stage 3 or more fibrosis I would do maint interferon to hopefully keep fibrosis to a minimum until the new drugs.
Best of luck
