Another viral load drop question

Another viral load drop question

I had my 4 week blood drawn last week and received a message on my phone today from the nurse.  My viral load was 1,250,000 IU before tx and is now 75,000.  I'm really glad it dropped, but is it good enough?  The nurse also said that my red and white blood cell count had dropped significantly, but is not going to take any action.  I did call back to the doctor, left a message but didn't receive a call back.  I've been so frustrated with this doctor and he's the only one in my area that treats hcv.  I saw his name in the paper the other day.......he's being sued.  Anyway, thanks all, again, for your help.

It's a good drop for only 4 weeks. Of course being undetected at 4 weeks would have been amazing. Now you need to shoot for at least a drop to 12,500 or less by week 12 to be in the running for SVR. Lots and lots of good luck.
