<15 IU/ml is nothing RC, congrats buddy! It wasn't too long ago that would've been considered undetectable. The sensitivity of the new viral loads goes down as low as 5 IU/ml at many labs. The tests are incredibly sensitive now. I will place bets that your next test will come back undetected, if it isn't already. You're on your way RC! You've got every reason to be happy about this result. Looking good smile

Hi RC,

His VL was undetected on 10/12 lab results.  He's doing pretty well as far as side effects; some fatigue, brain fog and insomnia, but overall quite well. He has another 8 weeks of tx to go.  

We have our routine monthly appointment with the hepatologist today.  I'll post up if anything new pops us.   Thanks for asking, RC.

Penny

Just got a call from study Nrs.   My V/L is  147      It went from  42700000  to  147  in 7.5 days of treatment!  Also got early results from yesterdays blood draw and my pl went up to 94  but the HG went down to 13.4     It took me 30 days on my first treatment to get my V/L down to 137   So this is looking really good to me!!  RC

Hang in there RC! I'm almost as curious about the lab work as you are. You've completed 25% of the Peg, it won't take long and you'll be over the hump. One day at a time....

Thanks for posting those, Robert, it`s good to have a baseline to measure your progress against.

I`m sure you`ll soon be seeing those ALT and AST levels coming down, along with your viral load.  Your Hg is likely to drop a bit as well, as a result of the riba, but that will just show that it`s doing its job.

Onwards and upwards!

Its early in treatment, but so far so good!   RC

Hey RC,

How are you feeling buddy? The next day was always a tell tale sign of the week to come for me. I'm wishing you 12 weeks of greater days and easier tomorrows! SVR is your next destination on this train. I'll meet you in the Club Car for a game of Darts!!! Good luck...

HI Robert, I`m very pleased you`ve got your treatment in place at last!!

This is definitely the best combination for you at the present time, and at least you only have to do a short duration of 12 weeks..  Just do your best to keep a positive outlook, look after yourself well, drink plenty of water and generally treat yourself kindly.  This is your time, and we`re looking forward to seeing another dragon slain!!

Wishing you all the best of luck, you know we`ll be here cheering you on!!  smile

And a new Gen 3 darts club sounds like an excellent idea!!

 This may be best because of known SVR %'s and waiting on Sof/gs5816/9857 etc. could cost time you might best not spend. After 16 months I know your itching to get the show back on the road anyway. At least 12 weeks Sof/Riba/Peg will be easier on you than 24 weeks Peg/Riba. I'm happy for you Robert and I wish you well on your final fight with the dragon. SVR here we come!

After a 16 month wait for a re-treatment, I start tomorrow at 1:oo PM.  I will be doing 12 Weeks Sof-Riba-Peg.  I was hopeing (waiting) for a triple W/O Peg, But Doctors say this has the best SVR for 3a treatment experienced W/cirrhosis, so I"m going for it.  Looks like  a few of us type 3"s need to start a new DART club??  That Riba really screwed me up, still dont feel normal, now I get to do it again and add peg!   RC
