Thanks all will be carefull with meds and keep Shot cool . sail
My numbers are about the same as yours (week 40 for me) and I got cleared to fly in
November. Dr. just said to make sure I have enough meds and she will write me a note for the airlines. I was hesitant to be cooped up in a plane at first, but decided the benefits of a vacation trump the risks. I did get my seasonal flu shot last week........
When on treatment it would be hard to tell if you got the flu. Maybe you'd come down with tx-like symptoms.
Don't forget to take your meds with you. And, if you trip will extend over a shot-day made sure you keep the Peg cool when you travel.
No the antivirals should be enough to protect you but with a chronic disease you should ALWAYS get a flu shot anyway.
I never got the flu on treatment perhaps because I always get the flu vax. However, as a first grade teacher, I caught every single thing the kids brought in to the classroom. It was a lousy year. Your white count is plenty adequate to protect you. My hematologst told me that hep C patients on treatment do not tend to get sick because of low counts. He said you only need a very low neutrophil count to be able to fight infection. At one point my counts were around 150 and they told me not to worry, Of course I then did what I always seem to do....something weird ....and my counts went to 0. That is when I got an infection and landed in the hospital. But you should be just fine. Don't forget to wash your hands a lot or use that sanitizer stuff.
Have a great trip!
