Even though you were naive, were you also geno 1?  If so, that makes sense but it would kinda suck if you planned for 36, only to find out it's 48......but 48 is better than relapse too!!!!

A good way to tell if you are on the real BOC is ,if you wake up with a real bad taste in your mouth...you are getting the bomb

I think I'm on shot 30 of what will be 48. They re-randomized us naives at week 28 and I couldn't be more certain that I'm now on the placebo.

Wow go chop and go boceprevir.  It is so nice to see these kind of numbers.  It makes it a little easier to go on, doesn't it. I know you must be feeling pretty worn out with hgb of 10.3 already.  It is dropping fast.  What a nice trial that they are ready for you to start with the blood boosters.  

Thanks for posting
