Wonderful Judy,  that was a MAJOR step toward your SVR!

Now 'ya got the routine down.  It's kind  of like a balancing act now.  Up days and down, happy and sad, you just try to stay in the middle, while leaning forward.

I'll keep watching for more good news.

Brad

Woooo Hoooo, that is wonderful news Judy.

I agree, this tx is rough but certainly worth the suffering to achieve UND. I know you have been doing it especially tough so to hear such news actually made me tear up,disbelief.gif ahhhh

Let it give you the strength to conquerfight.gif.

happiness and health to you

I just got the news; my Labs last Wed (May 2) showed UNDETECTABLE!  2 days before the 8-week mark on May 4.

I was at 4.7 million at the start of tx, and went down to 371 at Week 4.  Somewhere between Week 4 and Week 8, I went UND.    biggrin

That's not all.  My liver enzymes are the lowest they've been in 27 years! 

ALT - 17  (range <55)

AST - 23  (range <31)

GFR and Creatinine still good at 60 and 1.0, although I used to have a higher GFR and lower Creatine, but this tells me kidneys are still hanging in there.

Billirubin good at 0.5.

Glucose up to 100; not bad.  (range 70 - 140).

As with us all, it's the blood cells taking the great hits.  WBCs down to 1.5 but I started Neupogen injections last week for that.  2 injections a week.  My poor Neutrophils are just barely there but Neupogen should increase them. 

RBCs down to 3.57.  Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and Platelets have all taken a nosedive but that's par for this course.  Will deal with Procrit injections if they get any lower.

I am SO happy!  This tx is pure hell but it sure is working!  Hang in there everyone; I think about you all every day.  Let's keep this fight going!

Hugs,

Judy  smile
