Congrats, Kristen! Such great news to spur you (and us all) on. LTChaos, with genotype 2, your odds are extremely high of being undetectable at the end of treatment. We 2s are lucky that way. Fingers crossed for you, too!

Hey Kristen, 

That's a fantastic way to start the weekend, WOOT!! Congrats on the undetectable, that's excellent. Nobody but us knows just how wonderful a word like "UNDETECTABLE" can be to a person, until they see it for themselves on their laboratory test report. You have every reason to celebrate this weekend and then make plans when that form says "SVR"! I'm really happy for all of you that are getting these early reports of success. It's a good time for everyone suffering with this illness. A good time to kill the Dragon and a good time to rejoice!! Good luck...

Tig

Happy Friday all!  Got a chipper voicemail from my liver PA this afternoon - my 4 week VL came back UNDETECTABLE!!!  He said that all my liver enzymes looked good - my WBC count is still high but it's steady at 12 which is what it was on 2/28/14. I'm still not convinced that it's not related to the treatment so unless the PCP thinks it's supper important to get to a hematologist asap I'd like to wait until treatment is over as long as it stays steady.

I should be able to pull up the rest of my specific lab results later tonight on line and when they're available I will post. 

U-N-D-E-T-E-C-T-A-B-L-E !!!! 

 

Hope the good news continues for everyone coming up on their first on-treatment VL tests!!!
