Hey y'all. My sig line kind of tells the story. Just did my 4 week post treatment VL yesterday and am hopeful but not overly confident. My treatment plan hit a snafu halfway through. Had been approved to retreat for 24 weeks but got cut off at 12 weeks, appealed, lost appealed again and won but there was a 10 day gap in treatment so I refused any further shipments. The Insurance Company messed up big time and apparently they know is by nature of second appeal approval. They were proven wrong in the initial denial so I assume if I do fail, they will be cooperative going forward. The rapid reach of UND is a hopeful sign and I should know more next week sometime. Boy talk about being able to hear the clock tick! Regards JimmyK Gen 1a VL 3.8m F2/3 V Pack/RBV Breakthrough Dec 2015. RAV's Detected NS5a M28T/NS3 Q80K and D168Y...Harvoni 12 weeks SOT 04/15/16.. UND at 4 weeks. EOT 07/07/16 UND at that time as well. HCV RNA post treatment + 4 weeks drawn 08/04/16. Awaiting results Faith in hand, lump in throat. LOL | |

Hi ! To be honest I was a little shocked they had initially approved the 24 weeks. Guidelines do not particularity support it. At any rate water under the bridge now. Just have to hold for results and pray. Jimmy Gen 1a VL 3.8m F2/3 V Pack/RBV Breakthrough Dec 2015. RAV's Detected NS5a M28T/NS3 Q80K and D168Y...Harvoni 12 weeks SOT 04/15/16.. UND at 4 weeks.

Update on EOT + 4 Weeks HCV RNA Blood Draw. To my pleasant surprise, and of course by the Grace of God, I remain UND. So from here things are looking up and I will go on to the next step which is to determine SVR 12. That draw will take place 09/29/16. I believe I am now in the roughly 96% category for success so very pleased. JimmyK Gen 1a VL 3.8m F2/3 V Pack/RBV Breakthrough Dec 2015.
