Week 1: 6300 IU/mL
Week 2:     ?
Week: 4:   UND
Week 18:  UND
Week 24:  UND
Week 6     EOT = UND
Week 12.. EOT = UND
EOT at week 12 in Norway is like SVR when your virus is negative. HAPPY, thanks for all help from all people at this forum.

Congrats! once again this show the importance of week 4 pcr. I still think anyone that is Und at 4 weeks can SVR with only 24 week tx. I think the studies I saw was only 2% difference between 24 vs 48 in RVR's that went on to SVR. Even with high VL's.

They really didn't pursue these studies further. My guess is because of at least one of the new PI's showing sucess with only 24 weeks for GT 1's.

Congratulations, Chem... so really happy to hear this, knowing how you presented your case for doing 24 weeks as a genotype 1 (and 2), on the strength of your spectacular very early clearance and your doc's well-informed advice.

Thank you for sharing this terrific news about your three month post-tx results. I hope you are feeling better and better every day and enjoying  your great victory. You won!

If you are a rapid virus killer, don't go 48 weeks, and be ill, like I was. Very, Very, Very ILL, but listen to the doctor, not me. He told me my SVR goes from 93 to 83 % for SVR, for 26 more weeks with pain.
I sure about my choice, 26 more weeks with pain....I would had to stop the treatment?
I am not easy giving up, but I start to lose my brain, and never had problem with my psyche. If you are in same situation like me, ask your doctor for your prognoses for SVR
when you really, more than really or maybe pain-killer at the 2-4 week you feel bad, and your body don't get used to it yet.
Thanks for all people who help me. Love Your all.
