30 days after treatment blood tests. Lambda Il29 study

I have not posted much since finishing treatment, just waiting for the next six months to pass. I was in the Phase 2B Interferon Lambda IL 29 study for 24 weeks. I am G2 S2. Just received my blood tests from 30 days after finishing treatment.
Total Bili       .3
ALT 28
AST 19
HGB 16.2
And the main one HCV RNA PCR TAQMAN 2.0 Results Not Detected.

Since 2 weeks after treatment I have felt great. Energy, stomach, everything seems so much better than prior to treatment. I think this Interferon could be great in the future because of the little sx.

It is amazing how fast the treatment time goes. I look back now and the last 7 months have gone by so fast. I wish everybody the best.

Great Numbers!  You know I'm happy for you and not just for my own selfish reasons.  Thank you for sharing this info.  Every time I see my study nurse I'm asking what she's learned about the other lambda trials.  I think I'm counting down your 6 months as anxiously as you must be.  

I've felt so good this wk (5) that I just "feel" the virus is gone.  Your HGB is up there - have you steadily had good #'s?  My HGB is actually trending upward!  Not out of range yet but certainly not what I'd expected to see.  I must be a RBC making machine which to me means my liver is happy and industrious.  (Did I mention I feel great this wk?)

Anyway, thanks again for the update and many wishes for a stellar New Year!
