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.
I'm so sorry to hear that Robert wish there was something I could do...I just hate seeing when people work so hard and endure so much and to turn around and relapse it just ***** my thought are with you. Keep your head up stay strong.
So sorry to hear this bad news.
You say you don't know what to do next.
What you do is take good care of yourself and your liver and hope the new oral interferon free meds are available soon.
Although you relapsed, being und since week 4, means your liver had a break from being damaged by the virus. It very well may be in better shape than when you began treatment. In fact it could be a lot better.
Best of luck~

Sorry to hear this Robert.. Always tough to have relapse.
For the most part if one fails with one of these "protease" it is manily caused by a certain degree of insensitivity to the Inteferon ,which unfortunately is still needed to keep the virus beaten down so to speak.
You did not mention your degree of liver damage ,hopfully it is mild or moderate and will afford you time to wait out the INF. free drugs that are currently in the pipeline.
Try to stay as liver healthy as possible(no alcohol ,any medications as sparingly as possible,exercise ,drink cofee and eat a healthy diet with weight control)
Again sorry to hear this ,however there is much happening for us in the future..

Oh my, I am really sorry for you. And to have such a fast response. For now take time to get over this, then regroup and watch these new drugs that are having such great success. Been there done that, I know how you feel guy.
