I've Relapsed

After 48 weeks of treatment.

Und since week 12. Stopped treatment 6wks ago. Und at that time. Gen. 1a

Just got off the phone with MA regarding 30 day RNA test and my viral load is at 32,000.

Havent spoken to the GI yet. He will call tomorrow or Thurs.

I've already made an appointment with a Hepatologist for Dec. 18.

I'm so down and depressed right now. I'm just sitting here in shock.

I am so very sorry to hear that you have relapsed. You're in my thoughts. Hope you will find the strength to digest these bad news and to find new courage.

Warm greetings, Marcia

I am sorry your first tx failed. I am glad that you are already pursing plan B. It takes a lot of guts to tx . I commend you for that.

Damn it!  Damn it!  Damn it!
So sorry.  I hate the reality of this treatment.  Not everyone will clear, even under the best of circumstances.  Give your body a well deserved rest and the future is looking so much more promising for us in terms of treatment and SVR rates.  Keep going, don't give up.

Oh man i hate hearing that, if feels just like a swift kick in the gut. Good news is you was a responder. (I know that doesn't help much right now) But being und at week 12 makes it look real good for one of these new P I's..... Sorry my friend, wishing you the best.

Dang!!  Sorry to hear about your news.  That's just so unfair, I can understand that you're feeling depressed for sure.  Take your time on making up your mind as far as what you will do and only move forward when you hear something different.  Maybe add a PI study to the mix, I'm sure you'll talk to your new Heptologist about it.  I'm in the Boceprevir study and there's also the telaprevir drug.  good luck
