No SVR for me

VL came back last week at 18,000 I was so deoressed the first. All  can do is move forward,maybe next time. I swear I have a monster strain, Dr said treatment was killing me and if they had not stopped the treatment Iwould have gone over the cliff. In the mean time  have been around to Docs and having test. More later I can't krrp my eyes open I hope you all are doing well.

I am very sorry to hear this. His3707 is right. There will be a next time and hopefully with the famous "nuke" 7977.
Wishing you all the best.

I am very sorry to here that virus came back. It has to be deeply disappointing. I am sure there are no words to express your feelings at this time.

Please be good to yourself and give yourself time to bounce back from such a big disappointment. You are a true fighter and you gave it your best shot. Nobody can do anything more than that. I admire your tenacity and will to take on the virus despite previous negative outcomes.

Be well. Peace.

I am so very sorry to hear this news. I know it must be devastating.

However, you are a fighter and you have a very positive attitude. You have kept trying to attain SVR and you will attain SVR one of these days, maybe with the next treatment using the new drugs coming available soon.  

Keep in touch and let us know any knew developments.

Best of wishes to you.

Such disappointing news.  I am so sorry to hear you didn't make it.  I can't imagine having the strength you have had to try tx so many times and get this news.  I am glad these new drugs offer the hope that you will never have to do interferon again and you may cure with easier meds.  You are an amazing person.  Hoping you feel better soon.

I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't achieve SVR. I lurk here a lot, and you have been such a help to the board with your positive attitude and helpful advice. Try to stay positive, because some of these Direct acting antivirals that they are developing sound very promising.

I'm sorry for your disappointment. Some of us just seem to  have a very macho virus. If I remember correctly  you were originally in a trial with telaprevir? If you failed that I don't understand why they would put you on boceprevir? The chances of that working are about nil unless I am misundertanding something or remembering incorrectly.

It seems to me that your best bet may be a trial with no interferon, 2 DAAs and ribavirin.  Don't give up the hope. Hang in there. Better drugs are coming.

So sorry to hear your news.  I have had tx fail me twice - the trial team says that since I am a Geno 1a with the T/T allele it is difficult for me to beat this dragon with interferon and that the cure for me and others will be with the non interferon tx.  They said to keep an eye out for what Abbott is working on as their non interferon combos are showing great promise.  Get rest, keep faith and regain your health.

Dear R, I am so very very sorry for the VL.
I am in shock. I had hoped that all of us would reach UND...then SVR
I do not know what else to say other than I have read that Gilead is having a lot of success with the 7977 all oral.
When I relapsed after the first tx in 2008 I was devastated.  Everyone here was so kind to me, so supportive.
One thing I remember from either Hector, Willbb, can-do was to rest build myself back up, get my ducks in a row and try again
Dr Dietrich also told me to wait a year to get my health and soul rejuvenated before trying again.  He was very kind
My best to you
Dee
I am praying for you

Sorry to hear the bad news.
The one good thing is knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel giving hope to those who relapse because of the new oral meds currently in trial. Hopefully this new treatment will finally rid more people, of this difficult virus and will be approved rapidly.

Sorry to hear this   After this many goes at it  certainly would seem the insensitivity to Inteferon is so much of a factor.

With the INF. free modalities in the pipeline .. there will be another chance ..

Stay well;

I'm so sorry.
You're strength to endure so many battles is astounding. We were all hoping this would be the one, but if the medicine was hurting you it had to be stopped. I agree that something without inf may be the one..which is soonn to come.

I'm so proud of you for never giving up. You are amazing!
