    Please talk me off the ledge.

    Yes, sorry you have not cleared, but there a plenty of retreatment options.

    It does need a pretty decent conversation with someone like me.

    Thanks all for your empathy. To say that this sucks would be a gross understatement.

    Dr. Freeman, how can we facilitate that conversation? I’m in the Atlantic Time Zone. I can be available anytime, just say when and how.

    Someone please advise.
    Geno 1. Infected for 30+ years.

    Treated in 2003-2004 with ribivirin-interferon – 48 weeks. Didn’t take.

    Applied for and was denied Harvoni by insurance. Rather than wait, I went directly to China (Mesochem) and received generic Harvoni.

    Got a local druggist to compound for me and treated.

    At 6 weeks was undetected. Just did my blood work at 24 weeks and:
    RDW-CV High
    Neutrophils – Low
    Lymphocytes – High
    Monocytes High
    ALT – High (78)

    HCV IU/mL – 1098407
    HCV LOG IU/ml – 6.04

    Did I really not clear???

    Please talk me off the ledge.

    I’ve just got back my 6 week results.
    Started treatment with 6.5MM IU/ml load. Gen 1a
    Sof/Led from China.

    Good news-bad news?

    Hepatitis C Quantitation <12 HCV RNA detected - Bad news?

    HCV log10
    Unable to calculate result since non-numeric result obtained for component test. - Good news?

    So if I read this right, I am still infected but the level is low enough that it is below the measurable range?
    Does this bode well for SVR?

    What kind of documentation did you need to get through customs?
