All-oral treatment update - week 6

Hi everyone.  Just a quick note to let everyone know things are moving along just fine so far.  Gilead all oral trial with 5885 and 9451 and Tegobuvir and Riba.  HGB dropped from 14 to 12 but it must have leveled out bc I feel really good.  The heat of Vegas last week killed me but now I'm back in high 80's and all is well.  Still very minor sides and latest test is still UND.  So for now, just looking ahead to 18 more weeks without issues!!  Have a great, safe weekend.

Great news Adam. I am really looking forward to this working for you. SVR without interferon means a lot of people that couldn't tolerate tx before will have a chance. We are all rooting for you. Thanks for being one of the lab rats!

Hi this looks to be very promising, great results so far with few sx!  Besides your HgB dropping how are the WBC's looking, have they dropped much and at what point did you become UND?    

That's great that your feeling so well!  Please keep us posted.

Thanks Adam Ben!  Note my posting of early results in my journal.  So important to find out that Riba alone may not harbor as many sides as riba+ifn.  Have a wonderful weekend.
