Dang it, so sorry Neal. But just a temporary setback, they have new stuff coming down the pike daily it seems. Hang in there, from what I hear the newer drugs are better any way with less side effects and higher SVR. If there is any thing I can do let me know

One step back, but you will make two steps forward.  My specialist told me about the new treatments and said these will be easier to take and they have a better response rate.  Hang in there, you will achieve SVR.

Hi Neil,

I can only imagine your disappointment after such a long fight. There isn't much solace we can offer when life throws such an unexpected punch. Keep faith you will recover. Some people on here have failed up to three times before becoming cured, but they did finally! That will be you in the future, and we will be congratulating. Stay strong...Hugs!

Thanx to all for the good wishes. It is a tough one but I'm in better shape than some of our

forum friends and I don't believe my life is in any immediate threat. My specialist is sending

me reqs for blood work to do in 6 months time so I'm pretty sure he must feel the same way.

I always knew this could be the outcome of the Tx but you have to hope for the best especially when 

end of Tx shows UND. Que sera sera or in todays lingo...It is what it is.

We have no choice but to soldier on. I've always been a realist so you learn to roll with the punches.

So sorry to hear this news Neil.  My heart sank on reading it as treatment is so hard.  Be encouraged that there are new treatments on the horizon and that your time to shine will indeed come.  Caroline

neil,

it saddens me to learn you didn't achieve svr. we all know the risks,sx and no 100% guarantee for svr and accept our fate  none the less.

in life i've found 1 true guarantee & it's my belief in myself to accept challenges w/ determination and head held high. your journey was done with integrity,determination and courage. you are an inspiration for all of us.

rest,cherish life and your loved ones.

Neil, I`m so very sorry to hear this, what a disappointment after waiting all this time.  And I agree, hearing the news over a voicemail is so horrible, I wish doctors and specialists wouldn`t do that.  As Jim said, at least you`ve given your liver a good long holiday from the virus all the while you were UND so it wasn`t for nothing. 

Take good care of yourself until the time is right for your next round with one of the new drug combos.   You`ll get there next time, I`m quite sure.

Keep in touch, we`ll still be here for you anytime.

Hi Neil,

Really sorry to hear that mate.  At least your next Rx will be a piece of cake compared with what you've gone through, and your liver has had a rest.  It was always a worry being Detected at 12 weeks- I didn't mention it then, but my doc stops Rx for Vict. patients if still Det. at 12 weeks.

See if there are any Merck Trials available.  MK-5172 is effective against all the Victrelis RAVs, and combining it with MK-8742 would eliminate the need for Interferon.

Your time will come so just recover and get ready for the next round. Cheers.

Hey Neil

This is a tough day for you, but all is not lost. There are many more treatments coming down the road for us cirrhotics, with a whole lot higher percentage of cure rates with shorter and hardly any FX's.

Sometimes it's hard to figure but we go on and continue to fight and the timing is good because the next two years will bring nearly 10 better combo choices to achieve SVR .

I know that first month is hard but think about the future knowing the prospects are better than before this last treatment especially without Interferon. 

Keeping the faith

matt

Sorry you got this kind of news I think at the very least, the person delivering this kind of news should do it personally. There is something real impersonal when doing it via voicemail! The new treatments will hopefully be your permanent ticket to SVR! Best of luck Neil!

Sorry to hear this Neil but at least you gave your body a break from the virus for a while. Stay as healthy as you can and be ready for the next round. It will come quicker than you think. Us dragon slayers are tough old birds. Your time will come.
