Viral load prior to treatment - 9875 After 6 weeks - 12 After 12 weeks - 0 Doc wants a blood test next June as a confirmation that the virus is still gone. A slight chance that due to the state of my liver it may recur Fingers crossed | |

Great news Seedy. I had a blood test at 24 weeks and I remember Dr Freeman saying on a post recently that if the virus was still present it has had 24 weeks without medication and hasn't grown back so it's definitely gone for good. Looks like yours is gone. Yay!! G1a probably early 1980's, Biopsy F1(2010), F2-F3(2015). VL 5+mill; 2+mill (2014) Tx naive. Accessed Sof/Led through Dr Freeman at GP2U and Buyers Club (lifesavers!!!)

Hi Seedy, After rereading your various posts it sounds like the twelve week test may be when you recently finished treatment (took the last of your pills) rather than 12 weeks after finishing treatment? If so a viral load test result of undetected (0) at that stage is certainly good news I believe Coral is referring to the post that Dr Freeman made (in the link below) regarding viral load testing during the period after you have finished taking the pills. fixhepc.com/forum/viral-load-and-svr/151...ween-eot-to-svr.html The problem can be gaining access to this additional testing in some countries (and of course the cost if you have to pay for the tests yourself). Additional testing at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks is ideal and will give confidence that you have been cured particularly the 24 week after test. If this option is not available for whatever reason(s) then please read the below quote from the link.
G3a since '78 - Dx '12 - F4 (2xHCC) 24wk Tx - PEG/Riba/Dac 2013 relapsed 24wk Tx - Generic Sof/Dac/Riba 2015/16 relapsed 16wk Tx - 12/01/17 -> 03/05/17 NS3/NS5a + Generic Sof SVR7 - 22/06/17 UND SRV12 - 27/07/17 UND SVR24 - 26/10/17 UND | |

Sorry for screwing the pooch for so long ... Harvoni did not cut it. Started June 2018 on a combination of meds for 120 days Vosevi and Ribavirin Finished Oct 2018. As of June 2019 still showing zero - so a Win in that column. Late summer 2018 CT Scan found a tumor on my liver. Microwave Ablation therapy May 2019 As of Sept tumor has not regrown - so a Win in that column Beat Hep C 2018. Beat liver cancer 2019 Now going broke buying lottery tickets as I must be on one Hell of a Roll !!! Good Luck to all in your treatments, and fingers crossed you will experience the same results as I did | |

Thank you for this upbeat post Seedy, it provides plenty of optimism for Hep C patients no matter how advanced their liver disease is. With the huge advance in the treatment of liver related ailments that has taken place over the last few years (e.g. Antiviral drugs), the prognosis looks excellent for the vast majority of patients. I wouldn't go broke on lottery tickets though, your good fortune has more to do with scientific advances than pure luck | |
