Looks like the short course for you. Now settle in and get 'er done. By Spring you'll be grinning ear to ear.

Thanks everybody !

Yep, it was a good moral boost to be UND at 4 weeks,
I really really didn't want to do this for a whole year ;).

Liver enzymes are back to normal levels also.
My thyroid levels are a little low though... doc wants to wait for week 8
blood results to see if I'll need to take some hormones... anybody
here with some experience with that during treatment?

best !

Nick

Nick, a week four UND is HUGE in the Incivek triple. That means you are in line for the short course, the 24- week total treatment. Way to go. Your chances are excellent.

Congratz Nick, that gives you an RVR and with that, a higher chance of SVR. Glad you're not having many Sx- age probably has a lot to do with it!

So, I'm currently in week 7 of treatment... a few days ago I got the results from my week 4 blood counts, and I'm happy to report VL showed UND :)

Regarding SX until now, I think I can consider me one of the lucky ones. Still no rash or itching

from Incivek. Anal burning was only there the first two weeks, then it was gone. The worst for me so far

has been fatigue... specially during the 4th week, almost no energy at all that whole week, but strangely right after my 5th shot I started feeling much better

and has lasted so far.  

 

Still a long road ahead, but things are looking good so far.   

 

Nick
