Now that's going to be almost impossible to answer at this stage! That date depends on the lab results at week 12 or 24 or 36, assuming they use those results to make that decision. The sooner the better! hmm

I'm getting no real definite dates on last shot

BUT I just a a call from my doctors  I now have a lab test that says   week 10 results   "UND"    I think I was UND @ week 6 but can't be sure Labcore has been unable to show a test result that was clearly UND

So I have 10 days of Incivek left 

Then on an indefinite sentence of Peg and Ribv  It started out 24 weeks after the relapse then up to 36 and now I hear they would like me to redo the whole 48 weeks  so see ya Friday's for another 36 weeks  As sick as it sounds I'm on the home stretch LOL

Thanks for all your support people and thanks to the one above

My last shot was yesterday, but I was only on a 12 week triple with gs 7977.  I noticed that most of the sx seeemed to be cumulative, the fatigue got worse, and i really really hate to admit it, but i've begun to cry at sad movies and books.  I really have a lot of respect for those of you who are hanging in there for 24 or 48 weeks of this crap.  I hope this works because I don't think I would do it again.

Last shot Oct 11. So far it's looking good for the 24/28 treatment . Good news because as I have all my meds till then, insurance can only be cobra as of 10/1 after I pay my $2,500 balance. Really, who can afford $1,100/ month for insurance? Hoping doctor still sees me as individual uninsured...since meds have been covered. Hate to add more financial terror to the non-stop self obsession that encompasses me. BUT...undetectable!

My last shot is Jan 8th, it was supposed to be Oct 22 but I tested as still detectable at week 4 (altho too small to quantify). The news was not well received by me when the doc said I needed to go for 36 weeks. In fact, I've been pouting for the last 3 weeks. Maybe this snit will last until Jan. Yeah, yeah, I will snap out of it.....soon, maybe. But I can't remember what 'me' feels like anymore.

Hi,

I took my last dose of victrellis Aug.10th I do my last shot Nov.2,  I'll be on ribaviron for ten more days.  I can't believe I did it.  I can't describe the horror of it all but I'm on a count down and I'm undetected and can't wait to feel like myself again.  I wish you luck and some day you'll be writing this same e-mail to someone.

  The Very Best of Luck to You,  I'll keep you in my prayers,

Mike

I throw my last dart Friday August 17th.  Tomorrow night is dart 40, 8 to go after that.  Still lack much energy, but I was buoyed by Undetectable at week 4, 12, 24 and last Fridays (really week 39) also Undetectable.

Think I've Slayed the Dragon! 

Hail Hail Incivek, despite it's side effect (surgery to fix a fistula in ano).

To those on treatment or getting ready to start;  HANG IN THERE, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!  I'm my case and I hope yours it's worth it.

I am on week 36. I have to go to 48 and don't know if I can make it that long. After the Incivek I thought it would be a walk in the park. Not true. I guess I am just getting old and tired. This is my 3rd time on treatment. F

The week 12 labs came back today so I finally get to post in this thread. And they came back UND! Super happy, I get to go 10 more weeks instead of another 34.

Last Dart- July 13th
Last Riba- July 19th
B-day- July 22nd

I didn't realize until my third week of treatment that I might be able to go 24 instead of 48 weeks. I've never told Jen as I didn't want to get our hopes up in case it didn't pan out. Keeping it a secret for a few more days until her birthday on Saturday.

I can finally post in this thread! Yeah! Until today I didn't know how long I would be on tx. Just found out today that I am UND after 4 weeks on Victrelis, so my tx time is now 36 weeks, making my last shot around Sept 30! Wow, what an amazing feeling to know that it IS working, and I DO have an end date.
