12 week pcr test UND

At 12 weeks I am still undetectable :)

I am a 1a, fibrosis rated @ 3, viral load was over 20 million starting, CC gene, had virus for at least 8 years.

Dr said since I was UND @ 4 and 12 weeks, there is over a 90% chance I will clear the virus for good (SVR).

I was on Incivek w/ SOC for 12 weeks, now just SOC and life has started to get better after I stopped the Incivek.
Less fatigue, less itching, less mud butt- those have been my worse symptoms so far.

My white/red blood cells are 1-3 points below normal lab range values-
I am still hitting the gym every other day for 45min-1hr of weights followed by 20 min of moderate cardio.
I have lost the 10 pounds I put on during the Incivek fat experience.

I have had some personal life stuff happen which *****-
but overall life is still pretty damn good- only 10 more weeks to go-
not a cakewalk- but sooo much more tolerable
than I made this treatment out to be.

My fears of this treatment were far worse than what I have experienced so far.

Just sharing the hope-

F!@#$%^ Hep C

All looking great.  And nice to be on the short side of the hump doing the countdown.  Keep on chugging along and the weeks will just click on by.  Best of luck.
