Dr Took me off Tx,,,,,,,,:(

Hello everyone :) First I wanted to tell you that because of a previous illness (Crohn's Disease) and coupled with awful side effets over the past few weeks the Dr told me to quit the medication totally.
sooooo.....I got in 21weeks out of 24 for genotype 3a UND at week 4. I am almost relieved.....I pray to GOD that I will achieve SVR even though I didn't finish. Not sure what my chances are without totally finishing but hopefully someone might guide me in the right direction . I just can;tbelieve this is all over??????
Second of all I wanted to convey to you what a difference this site makes.....not only to me but to my family. I COULD NOT have done this wicked trip without all of your support...for someone new without any info on this disease this is priceless to have sooooo many kind and informative and supportive people here that helps everyone :) I have been on this site everyday for almost the past year and will continue to check in and see if I might be able to give any advice myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you.....Jim jasper wynter, grandma, nygirl deb meki.....I know I am definelty not thinking of everyone right now...but because of you I got through this :)
THanks to all of you......
P>S what are my chances of SVR?

I hope you will achieve SVR. You can't be 100% compliant when you are vomiting up the riba. Your stomach is so upset you have to give it a rest. I'm sure you will be fine. You are fortunate you could have the short tx.

Hey Sunny,

They say as long as you follow what they call the 80/80 rule you should be o.k.  That would be 80% of the recommended treatment dosage for 80% of the recommended treatment duration.

I know Sparklegirl, who is a genotype 2 also stopped at 21 weeks and she just got word that she achieved SVR on Monday.  How cool is that!
