incivek failed

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.

Robert.....I failed my tx three weeks ago...I was devastated....like you, most probably......
I have to wait for GS-7977....maybe you do as well.

It gets better, try not to dwell on it & ask the clinic your options......

I am very sorry to hear this news of your relapse. I know it must be devastating.

As others have said, try to regroup and heal. Soon there will be other medications for us.
