 Hi Iris!  thank you!  I'm feeling a bit low today due to the additional weeks/months that the dr wants to add to tx.  Today it is just more than I can handle. I dream about getting back to the clay studio. I hope I feel up to it one day.

Mark, I would not be surprised if they add twelve weeks to your protocol, since the four week VL was not UND. I had Less than 23, you had less than 15, and but neither of us had UND. So I to twelve extra weeks. But let me tell you something, my friend. Each week after Incivek has gotten better. Yes, my hematocrit and neutrophils are way low, but it is still better than it was. Hang tough. Alan

 12 Xtra weeks!!!  YIKES!!!  I think I could do 4 or maybe 6 xtra... but if, like you say, each week gets better, then maybe it is doable. At the moment though, I told the dr 24 was my max. so we agreed to discuss it in July.  We'll see...

Thanks Alan! good to hear form you! You're right, I am at 600 riba, and 3 weeks at 90 interferon (increasing to 135 on Monday). Dr said we should be able to increase doses in the coming weeks as the Blood counts should start to elevate now that I am finished with Incivo.

oh, dr also mentioned adding some time to treatment... :(

hope you are doing well, my friend!

Excellent!! I am so glad to hear you finished Incivek. You will begin to feel better soon, but the low hemoglobin will continue to make you tired. I believe your riba dose stands at 600mg/day now, right? And perhaps slightly reduced peg also? I wish you could get to feeling stronger. It makes such a difference in the attitude.

Alan

Hi everyone!  Hope you are all getting on ok. I've had it pretty rough these last few weeks with anemia and all the rest. Feeling really weak and just out-of-it!  But got some good news...

I have completed 12 weeks and am now finished with the Incivo/Incivek!!!  YAY!!!  

Oh Happy Day!

Man, that is a load off. Really feels good to have that behind me!

 

other good news...

I am thrilled to say that my 12 week VL is UND!

 

Thank you all for your encouragement and support!

Mark
