Finished Wk 14: numbers are good

My husband just finished week 14 of triple therapy with Incivek.  His labwork is good.  Hematocrit=34.  WBC=2.34.  Riba dosage had been reduced 2 1/2 weeks ago, so he is going back up to 1200 mg of Riba starting tomorrow.  He is feeling pretty well too.

Continued undetected, and nice labs and feeling good are an added bonus!
Glad he's feeling better... hopefully it's an easier coast to the finish line for him.  Wishing you both the best as always. ~eureka

No, frijole, he only did 12 weeks of Incivek, and now he's starting week 15 of the Interferon and Ribavirin that follow the first 12 weeks.  He's in it for a total of 48 weeks as long as he remains UND.  My wording on my original post may have been confusing.

It sounds like he is doing pretty well.  Did he actually do 14 weeks of INC instead of 12?  Hopefully he will have an easier time with the rash with the INC out of the picture.

That's wonderful!  Incivek is tough but it makes the rest of the ride seem easier.  So glad for you both.
