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
