Whoa!
That's Unbelievable!!
Cory.
Such beautiful news for you and beau Boce! Congrats on sticking it out and succeeding on this tough journey.
Not that I want you to give away your age or anything but I agree with Marcia about your hemoglobin. Although we may feel like emotional newborns after SVR, normal hemoglobin reflects our chronological age:
"The normal ranges for hemoglobin depend on the age and, beginning in adolescence, the gender of the person. The normal ranges are:
Newborns: 17-22 gm/dl
One (1) week of age: 15-20 gm/dl
One (1) month of age: 11-15gm/dl
Children: 11-13 gm/dl
Adult males: 14-18 gm/dl
Adult women: 12-16 gm/dl
Men after middle age: 12.4-14.9 gm/dl
Women after middle age: 11.7-13.8 gm/dl"

So hearty congrats again and all the very best to you!

very happy for you - wonderful news, wonderful numbers.
Enjoy!
didnt realize my hemo is low. just started back on my iron. i was always anemic due to heavy menstral periods. i will give my iron a month, then check again. thanks
Great.I love reading the SVR stories.I cant wait/hope that we too get to dance the SVR dance.The day I give him that last shot of pegintron I am celebrating.It will certainly become a holiday in this house.Perhaps I should just mmark the calender for that last dose of Riba then we can call the holiday.RRRIP.RIBA RAGE REST IN PEACE Day.
I am really becoming a Boceprevit convert. So many wonderful SVRs here from those trials. Way to go!!!
Way to go, virgo............Alot of us boceprevir SVR folks here. Congrats!!!
can
great to hear another svr story
I think your hgb is low, too, but time should change that. My platelets are still only at 125,000, 10 mos. post-trial. I'm pretty sure my bone marrow is still suppressed from the IFN and sometimes I wonder if it will ever let me go. Your liver enzymes are same as mine, just beautiful. All in all, I know 11.9 feels a heck of a lot better than 9 or 10! Glad to see you recovering.

YAY VIRGO that is just fantastic news I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't feel bad that your hemo isn't flying through the moon just yet - mine took a while to go up (all the extra riba I was taking must have stayed in me for a while) it will go up slowly but surely! you are only six months out - takes a while for some of us sometimes.
That is really great news I'm so happy for you! :)
Congratulations on your SVR!
YEAH!
I hope your hgb comes up. Are you feeling OK?
That's GREAT news. Glad to hear it. Congratulations! -Libby
Your reds are ok....
What are normal hemoglobin levels?
Normal hemoglobin levels are different in women and in men. In women, normal hemoglobin ranges from 120 g/L to 160 g/L (12.0 g/dL to 16.0 g/dL). In men, normal hemoglobin levels range from 140 g/L to 180 g/L (14.0 g/dL to 18.0 g/dL).
6 months post treatment and your hemoglobin is only 11.9? Are you still working through some issues?
Congrats on the SVR.
