Toast the virtual Corona
The post I have been hoping to post for years------------------------ **** SVR **** ____________________
It has been a long time coming. I felt confident at 3 months post, but this is the one I have been waiting for. Now it was all worth it. The long hard 48 weeks was worth every bit of it. All those pills. All those shots. All that anemia -- gone. the rest of my labs looked good too.
HGB -- 13.2 after almost a year of 9+
ANC - 1.9 - still on the low side, but I can live with it
Platelets - 276
AST - 18
ALT - 13
TSH - 1.82, after a high of 5.2 after treatment.
During treatment I got the Hep A and Hep B vaccinnations and the Hep B Core Ab was Positive Abnormal and the Hep A Ab was also Positive Abnormal. I need to check these out. I don't know if it means the vacinnations didn't work or what.
Meanwhile life goes on. I am still posting to the chart and get to add another SVR (keep them coming). Victrelis did the job for me. My Corona's will always be virtual since I still have early cirrhosis. I must stay vigilent as others here who clear but still have cirrhosis to deal with. My heppo said I would delay, slow down the progression, but the progression will still continue. I get my ultrasound next week. The disease is still there and I know that. At least for me my cirrhosis is compensated and I hope it will stay that way. My heart hurts when I read Karen (Crossroad)'s thread and others who have treated with cirrhosis.
My best to all
