TOPIC:

Unfortunately my SVR11 results are back and they are not good (see below). This was my first blood test since the one I had done at 12 weeks of treatment (which was UND) although I continued my treatment to 24 weeks because of a slower response. I was going to wait until SVR 12 but went a week earlier because I suspected something wasn't right. How well we know ourselves now.

So the 12 weeks of Sof/Led followed by the 12 weeks of Sof/Dac wasn't enough to get rid of my tough critters.

I am allowing myself today to feel devastated but tomorrow I'll take a deep breath and in a very loud voice say NEXT!!!

I've told you before I've told anyone else - thanks for being there.

O mate that sucks, so sorry to hear. We are living in good times for permanent resolution of HCV though, so I'm sure you have many options. Best wishes for permanently awesome health

That's a shame, sorry to hear it!

Coral, I'm so sorry to hear the news that your recent treatment has failed you. As beaches says there are a number of new and promising doors opening.

Thanks Beaches, Fretboard and Gaj (and thanks so much for the PM Gaj). You are so right that there are good options already here or coming along soon. The fight goes on....

So sorry to hear your news Coral, really unlucky. Those are tough critters all right to withstand you giving it 12 weeks of each. Best wishes for next stage.

Thanks Hazel. Yes I think mine are terminator tough so I'll have to find something clever to fight them with.

Dear Coral, I am so sorry to read this

There are new options on the horizon, yes, allow yourself some time to recover from this and then back to fight mode.

Big from across the seas.

Coral, what a gut punch. Hurting for you.... Thankfully, you are here where you have the best team and options in the world. Thank God for that.

Know we will stand with you in fighting this beast. We will always be here for you, and with you - until the dragon is beaten and gone.

Were u on triple therapy for the last four weeks?

Thanks for your thoughts LG. On Friday I'm attending the funeral of someone who has died too soon with Hep C but thankfully not because of it. I think that's life putting things into pespective for me.

Hope all is going well for you over there.

Velpatasvir is coming soon. Stay calm

Hi Coral so sorry to read this, very upsetting, not fair ,wish It was all good, but treatments are changing and very fast. Hang in , lean into the wind, it will come. Best Wishes Jill

Coral - as I was assured I'll assure you. You are in the best place, there are brand new treatments here now you and can access them ASAP. You will slay this dragon and we will all be here to support you, to hold your hand and reassure you and continually tell you that your with the right and best people in the world.

Hi TM, Yes, I was, just the last 4 weeks, well, actually, the last 2 weeks and then 2 weeks plus. Thinking maybe I should've done longer, I had a similar response to Coral, but I felt then 26 weeks in total was long enough.
