Skewed,

That's incredible news! I can't imagine the disappointment that stopping treatment caused. The bottom line is you're doing great now and look at those LFT's! Impressive... This just made my week. 

Merry Christmas!

-Rob

Thanks for the comments. Also, I would like to add that for the first time in my life NOTHING was flagged in my lab work as "out of range". I had these test performed: 

  • COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL, CBC (INCLUDES DIFF/PLT), PROTHROMBIN TIME-INR, HCV RNA, QUANTITATIVE REAL TIME PCR

Below are the labs that excite me the most:

ALT 9

AST 17

Platelets: 167

  • HCV RNA,...
  • <15 NOT DETECTED
     
    In Range High
    <15 IU/mL
  •  
  • HCV RNA,...
  • <1.18 NOT DETECTED
     
    In Range High
    <1.18 Log IU/mL

Great news, Skewed! It just demonstrates the effectiveness of the Tx available now versus the Inf/Riba days. Onward to SVR!

How fantastic, Skewed, that is wonderful to hear...congrats to you!!  biggrin

Yes, I agree that your chances of SVR are looking very good at this point and I`m keeping my fingers crossed for you.

So pleased the chest pains and heart flutters are easing up now too...it`s all good news!!

You must be really happy and we are too!

Hey Skewed,

Brother!!!! That's fabulous news! If you've made it to week 8, your chances of achieving SVR are high. After week 4 the odds improve greatly, after week 8 they are close to the week 12 results. Your odds are currently around 98-99% and those are excellent odds in my book! Congratulations and keep up the positive attitude, it will hold you through to the finish line! Good luck buddy....

As some of you know, I had to stop my Sovaldi/Olysio treatment at 6 weeks due to numerous heart flutters. Now I have been off of treatment for 8 weeks and I'm still UND. I have to believe that this is great news. By the way, the heart flutters and chest pain are slowly going away.
