6 months and virus undectable
I haven't been on her in about 6 months. I went through the triple therapy with vic. It was rough. But it was worth it. I got my 6 month post tx blood work back and I'm SVR. I wanted to share this with you guys who are struggling with the side effects or might be thinking about discontinue TX. DON"T, hang in there. During tx my red and white blood counts got down to 8.4 and 1.4 respectively. I did procrit and nuepregen several times a week. I thought about quitting and man am I glad I didn't.. I'm 62 and feel great. The virus was effecting me in ways I didn't realize until it was gone, mostly my attitude. I'm just more positive now.
The side effects left quickly after I completed my tx, almost immediately. So keep the faith good things will happen

Thanks for sharing your story.
It really helps to keep pushing when you know others have completed
the journey.

This is such great news. You had very low #'s, but now it's all worth :)
I too, never conciously noticed the dark cloud I lived under, and owned as mine for 20 yrs, until I got my first Und test, with normal enzymes.
The feeling I had was hope again, and it felt amazing. Congrats to
you and lets chock another one up for Victrelis.
Did you treat for 28 or 48 weeks?

So nice to hear such good news. I'm right behind you, EOT 5 weeks ago, and I truly agree with you. Amazing how tough tx was and how was we recover again! I wish I knew during treatment...so to all of you struggling: keep pzt's positive experience in mind.
Congratulations with SVR!!
Congratulations with SVR!!
This is great. I am very happy for you. I am particularly intrigued by this statement:
"The virus was effecting me in ways I didn't realize until it was gone, mostly my attitude. I'm just more positive now."
I hope it works out for me that way too. The longer I treat the more I realise what a dark cloud I have been living under.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. I wish you SVR for ever and ever!!

My doc said "go away, enjoy life" I don't want to see you for another year. I might do something with a biopsy then but maybe not. Thanks for the good wishes and sending them back to you.
I am so glad you didn't quit. You started with SOC and added the VIC later, didn't you? I see that you had bridging fibrosis. Any plans for a biopsy to see if there is any improvement?
I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better.
