Actually no I think I've assumed wrong thinking your numbers were standardized testing ranges. May actually relate to the test I think. But 120K would be about right for you hey, so VL is probably right? Em Geno 1b F2/3 snce early 80s. Treated in 2008_9 for 63 weeks on INF/Riba.

well i started looking at my older ones they are these: 2007 HCV HEPTIMAX IU/ML <5 IU/mL 72100 HCV HEPTIMAX LOG IU/ <0.70 see fn 4.86 2010 HEPMAX HCV HEPTIMAX IU/ML <5 IU/mL 9462 HCV HEPTIMAX LOG IU/ <0.70 see fn 3.98 2011 HCV HEPTIMAX IU/ML <5 IU/mL 26667 HCV HEPTIMAX LOG IU/ <0.70 see fn 4.43 2013 HCV HEPTIMAX IU/ML <43 IU/mL 50797 HCV HEPTIMAX LOG IU/ <1.63 see fn 4.71 2014 HCV RNA BY PCR QUANT <15 IU/mL 102691 HCV RNA BY PCR QUANT <1.18 log IU/mL 5.01 and then the most recent was the 2015 I posted before, so I'm reading them correctly then, they are in the hundred thousand to less than hundred thousand ranges of actual copies?

Cheers em. Yeah its a liver clinic not a GP, so I'm guessing they've had it on file. Its only because of what I've read since joining up here that I thought of asking for it GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 | |

yea, i just thought they always gave you the viral load numbers with the test. They say the numbers don't mean anything but I'm always wondering how many of em are in there chewing on my parts.

yep em, i seem to recall some older tests, that I dont have access to any more what were 200,000 and maybe up to 300,000, then they started going down to those numbers I pasted up there, and one doc saw them and said, "Oh, you must be on treatment, huh"? thinking i was taking the interferon, and I said no...never took that stuff, .....I'm hoping in a few weeks i seen NO numbers on there, hell not that many of them it seems like they ought to go quick!

Lol But yeah - I only got a rough printout of my test results mailed to me the other week because I asked for them. Prior to that it just verbal ALT levels at the yearly visit...maybe at a low fibrosis level they didn't think it was important (and the decision had been made long ago that I wasn't a good candidate for Intf/Riba) GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 | |

Dr Freeman gave me a blood script for my viral load But when I visited the liver clinic for the first time yesterday they said that they don't test for viral load Only test to see if the virus is present My GP (well, the first GP I have seen in 12 years) said the same thing So I'm just going to go with the flow if the clinic won't provide me with the viral load at my next blood test, and i feel like I need to know it I'll just go the Dr Freeman GP2U route for a blood script I'm just taking advice and help wherever I can, and putting my hand in my pocket when I have to (I'm not stingy, just the cost of tx is significant for me) 52 y.o.

Good idea Bloot, why I asked as well...and Dr James will have it all in hand. Pre-tx we really have to know huh. But now my clinic is onboard with monitoring I don't they'll be reticent in future.

The liver clinic in Penrith is on board - mostly My VL 3 years ago was 5 million and the recent script from Dr F they gave me the results yesterday at 11 million They then took my blood yesterday and rang me with the result today I'm happy with my AST and ALT and full blood count, but when i asked for the VL, that's when they told me they don't test for it? i would have liked to have known, but oh well i go into these things expecting nothing, so whatever I get is a bonus 52 y.o.
