Lynne that F’N awesome! I know how nervous you were about this one and Im so happy for you
CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you mermaid
Must say it was reassuring to see my Alt is 12 down from 14 at EOT. Im doing good and after speaking to my nurse and reading all the lovely posts I dont feel so afraid as I did.
I am so thankful that we now have affordable options available to us all rather than being faced to pay Gileads murderous price tag. Things are vastly different to what it was like back when I was first diagnosed with Hep C, I will never forget that day as it was – if not the worst day of my life. My haven’t things changed from then and for the greater good.
Hey Em just got off the phone with my nurse…
My LFT and FBC result is back with her ALT = 12I spoke about RAV testing – in particular NS5A and she felt as because I was treatment naive upon commencing SOF LED that the likelihood of me having any resistance is very unlikely. I then went onto ask whether NZ does NS5A testing to which she replied no.
Good news about my very recent LFT! oh and Im going for VL testing tomorrow and in another two weeks time.
Hi Em
Thanks for the well wishes mate xxx
Yes maybe it is a false positive as the Abbott test assay is unable to differentiate between viable and dead RNA/Virus. In relation to a Simeprevir combo I would first need to be tested for Q80k to know whether or not Simeprevir would work on me….as it turns out we cant test for that here in NZ so thats Simeprevir out, as for RAV testing for NS5A if I do need to take another course it will be Sof Dac instead of Sof Led thus (as far as I believe..) that NS5A testing is for the Lepedisvir part of the equation so its not going to be relevant if its Dac Im going to be taking. Im going to catch up with my nurse tonight and I will ask about the NS5A test and whether or not I need it.
Re riba, Doc said no at this point so that is a bonus!
Im two weeks post EOT and due my post 4 week VL in two weeks time (24th March) its going to take about 2 weeks for the first half of my script to arrive and as I see it waiting until then to take the test is not going to effect the outcome. Although it would be nice to know sooner – I will run it past my nurse tonight
I had LFTs and FBC done yesterday so I will have them back either tomorrow or the next day….. I am really interested in what my LFT scores are now as I feel it will be pretty revealing to determining whether there is any viral replication happening. I will post them up soon as I have them in hand.
