Merck Trial

I am officially undetectable at week 4.  Now It just to stay that way from now on. Have either 8 or 14 weeks left on my trial.  Feel great most of the time.  This new format has me all mixed up !!!!

I go for my week 12 blood draw on Dec 3rd.  I was still UND at week 8.  I will know then if that is EOT or I go for 6 more weeks.  The Merck trial presented wonderful results at the ASSLD conference.  97 out of 98 reached SVR.  That was a 12 week study but did not include hard to treat such as null responders, cirrhotics and HIV.  These new drugs are changing the way Hep C is treated---rapidly.  The future looks bright for all of us.  Still have a way to go, but I am optimistic about my trial and others.
