Great news Lucy. I talked to my Doc about a 12 weeks VL  he said he knew some recognized that as a SVR but they didn't yet. Mine for him will be at 24 wks. I might take one for myself at 12 also. 24 wks is just a long time to wait ;)

Good luck on your SVR!

Hi Lucy, that is wonderful, congratulations to you!!  Such a good EOT result makes it all worthwhile!  You`ve fought a hard battle, very well done! 

How annoying that you can`t get a 12 week VL test covered by your insurance, I can certainly understand you thinking of having one done privately, 24 weeks is a long time to wait.

Yes, this forum is like a family and we`ve all been happy to be here for you throughout your journey.  I wish you all the best of luck with a speedy recovery, take it easy and relax now, and keep us posted on how you`re getting on!  smile

Yesterday night, I finished my last shot #26/26, only one more week riba and will done on Aug 6.

This morning, my RN call me my 24 weeks VL is still Negative. I am really so happy.

My RN told me I would take the 24 weeks VL post tx. I tried to talk with her I would like to take 

12weeks VL test post tx, but it is not covered in insurance policy in canada. Maybe I will pay it by myself 

to test.

 

 

I am so lucky I found this forum before my treatment. Here is just like a big family, we support, encourage

and share each other. Especially, appreciate to Cinnamon, Malcolm and all other guys. Because you all are 

here to support me, I can finish my treatment. 

 

Thanks a bunch, everyone for all of your support and listening during this tough time.This forum is such a wealth of information. 

 

Thanks all again. Please don`t mind I don't  mention your names one by one

 

 

We all can beat it.
