Good morning
On this debate I seem to have have been misunderstood about the quality of the testing so......
I will restate:
My FIRST path aasay range was 30-10000000
I was <30
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
A week later I had TWO tests performed no NOT assay 30 plus
Lower limit 15 see my blog (Ariel takes the plunge)
Qualitative VL AND quantitative PCR RNA reported
Nothing seen on either
Zero
UND woohoo! Nothing will rock my boat now no talk of test assays etc etc nope
My GP rang labs
He located and wrote up the test request whilst on phone I sat there
I am not worried !!! Don't stress everyone it isn't worth the worry trust is good for the mind
I have even relapsed from Peg/inf I shouldn't have even been on at F0 and VL 400000! But NO I Am not anxious or concerned or worried or confused about the tests I had
I'm STOKED and I hope to hear more Stoke on here than worry
In my case at day 40 (now week 8 here)
The VL shows nothing
The PCR RNA shows UND
I believe I am clear and intend staying clear
I tried to write this in a consice way earlier on this thread but it seems people think I'm being tested still at assay 30+ NO!!!!
Please again reread my notes
I hope you can find a doctor who will assist with explanation
James and I talked about this prior to my second test as I also mentioned
I'm in Oz so I don't know the system in the UK and US but I say get both, and trust the qualitative UND
Ken, yes you made a good point re ranges as during peginf test ranges on my reports were ridiculously high assay eg 600- 10000000 whats the point of that but then that was three to four years ago now
Gosh this is getting way too stressful here !
I'm happy with my testing and quality of care.
At the end of the day ask Dr J to explain why you may see an unquantifiable result such as my first at day 25 (<30)
Then seek out testing as I did with support from medicos, because hell I was getting close and knew from my ALT AST I was going to clear imminently.
Hoping this makes perfect sense
No seeds of doubt in my garden
