incivek failed

[Roberttherock]

I just received bad news.  I finished treatment with incivek in Jan. received 6 mo blood test, relapsed.  I was undetectable at wk 4, 12, and post tx.  I am just totally crushed.  I have no idea what to do next.  This was  much tougher to deal with than previous treatments.  I was so hopeful. I hope the rest of you get a better outcome.

I am so sorry to hear this. I can imagine how incredibly disappointed you must be. I know I sure would be. I am a little unclear about your treatment history. I hope you do not find this too nosy but I glossed through your posts and see you have three times but I don't see why you treated for 24 weeks rather than the 48. Were you a relapser?

If you are feeling up to it, can you share some of your tx information?    As yodennis asked, i was also wondering if you treated for 24 wks or 48 wks.  And upon completion of tx, was your viral load tested monthly?   Try to stay strong and be sure to take care of yourself.  all the best...ginger

I found a link to a PDF I received at a support group...I just started to read it...

You get a reprieve and then have it reversed. How depressing. I am so sorry. Living with the question mark of HCV is stressful as is the therapy gamble. My absolute best wishes for a more promising outcome in your future......Admittedly selfish (I share your timeline success with triple tx. and finished the meds today) may I ask about your history with prior therapies and degree of liver damage and whether this round was 24 or 48 weeks. Thank you. d
