Just as I thought,relapse

[GP7852]

It was too good to be true-finally after doing every study known to mankind since the 80s and I mean a shot of 3 million interferon everyday,and then on to the 5 million everyday and when that failed it was 10 million everyday.And everything else that came after with failure after failure.And finally sovaldi and olysio come along and I finally find a hero,finally negative and just in the nick of time.Geno 1a-stage 4 cirrhosis complete with every possible side effect that makes me want to say the hell with it sometimes.Today I go and get my 1 month after Tx bloodwork and the first thing I see is Hepatitis C quantitation 694,770.Ast and Alt ballooned from normal range to 200 and 159.I had to sit down on the bench outside the office,no way I could drive cause I had no legs.I had a feeling something was wrong because I was so itchy and still having leg cramps but I hoped it was the cirrhosis.Naturally my docs first available was in two months so once again its back to the drawing board.The lady who takes my blood told me she had two yesterday on the same treatment that also relapsed.I just cant believe or accept the amount of Hell you go through only to end up on a treadmill that takes you nowhere.

Glen, I am so sorry that you relapsed. I know it is very devastating, especially after all of the treatments and misery that you have gone through.

Try to regroup and hang in there. More treatments are in the pipeline. One will be right for you.

Wishing you the very best.

Thank you Sue-I can relate to that 24 weeks of riba and peg,and then I did those 2 with incivek.You are 1 tough cookie to have endured that regimen.I do realize that my cirrhotic liver got a 3 month vacation from the dragon but I have to adjust mentally from finally being "healthy" to back having a what can be a deadly disease again.The letdown is unbearable right now but time passing will make it easier to swallow.
                              Good luck    Glen

Thanks Pooh,its still so fresh as I found out today as to why I am beating myself up.As time passes I will learn to accept this and wait for the next treatment.Hopefully time is on my side where the waiting wont cause worse problems.
                 Good Luck to you    Glen

Sorry to hear this news. I can imagine your distress right now. But don't give up your hope. The time on treatment did prevent further damage to your liver and though the viral load is up who knows how long it will be before those prior symptoms return. You are just a mere 4 months from the new treatment.  You can do this.  Take a deep breath and live your life. The day will come when you will reach SVR. Just hang in there.

Stay strong, Glen. Keep your hope alive.
