How Many Posters are SVR or UND?

[meki]

I'm SVR --- but I'm wondering how many other posters are SVR or UND at this point.

[Tater_ToT]

I'm still a work in progress... but count me in!

I was still undetectable 4 mo post tx
(which is good sign & great considering I had already relapsed by then after the first round) So I'm going for a 15 mo. post TX Pcr this week..

So I think I qualify... I just can't confirm just yet..LoL
:)

[meki]

Rock the heck on!

[CockSparrow]

Not me failed twice. 1st time was IntronA. 2nd go was with the white Horsey.
I am G3a and yet to experience the joy of relapse, so never been UND.
Actually with the What Ifs and If Onlys I have with NR, Relapse would just annoy the hell out of me.

[honey11]

Hi Meki,,,,Count me and hubby in for SVR,,,2 and half years now,  Both 1A and completed 52 weeks of tx!

[GrandmaA]

I'm UND but still on tx. 8 more weeks to go. UND since week 14 or 15.

[debnevada]

I just finished shot 15.

GI wants to go 48 weeks because I'm a fatso, but I think I'm going to start bargaining for 24 or at worse 36.

[purplecat]

UND but still on TX,  Week 44/48

[hightrekker]

UND at week 4--
Just took injection 14 10 min ago---
Type 2, almost 60 (infected 35 years), 9 million to UND in 4 weeks, 180 (but slim at 6'2")--
Do blood work tomorrow----

[Catll]

Undetectable at week 4; 1b; pretreatment VL = 1M
I am down to 8 shots, 40 to go.

[goldyn]

15,000,000 1a  did 48 weeks 7mth post tx svr......Doc said cured....

[pigeonca]

Geno 2b, VL 1,250,000 prior to tx.
UND at week 4
Treated for 13 weeks, was UND at 4 weeks post tx.  Will have next blood draw on 7/17, and doc appt. on 7/27.  If I'm not still UND, I don't know what I'll do because SOC causes me to have severe autoimmune problems.

[orphanedhawk]

Hello search engine guru.
   I am UND, 31/32.  Only one more shot to go.      

[debnevada]

....

undies!


hahahahahahaha

[painterlady13]

I am UND since week 6 I did 48 and just finished 3 weeks ago  I should be going in for my PCR test and will get results in August when I go to see the doc.

[triggertime]

2nd tx. Ive been UND since Dec 06. 34 daily shots to go.  Almost there. I get my next PCR test in mid-Aug. I still feel pretty lousy most of the time so Im hopin the yuckies stop after last shot & I remain UND. SVR is only a dream @ this point.
Good luck to all of you.

SVR  Mike

[meki]

Ok youse guys - that's a lotta good cheer... Not the undie part... But that you're all headed in the right direction - or are there.

That's fantastic NEWS.

And lots of combined info for newbies needing help.

What a wealth of information and positive reinforcement!

Meki

[grammajen]

I am wondering why the treatment continues if the virus is undetected.  

[meki]

I posted in reply to your other comment - I hope that it makes a little sense.

Hugs to you!

Meki

[Happyhungry]

I am UND since week 3, now on week 27/39. First 12 weeks were Telaprevir/Peg/Riba and since then just SOC.   So 12 weeks more SOC to go with loads of SX.  Type 1b, starting load 13 million, stage 2 grade 2.

[txinaus]

UND prior to 12 weeks
( we are only allowed to test at 12 weeks in Aus ) and I believe I have stayed that way - week 30/48 here :)

[amommy]

I am SVR.  

I was a geno 2, overweight, clear at week 4, and stopped at 20.  

Haven't had a 1 year post tx test yet.  Will wait until I am at the end of my pregnancy, but I was clear at 6 months post.  

[antman]

i went UND between week 12 & 15. 1a , 51 yo male, bx 1/2, Peg 180 riba 1200, week 25/48. minimal sx, mostly just lethargic.

[meki]

awesome  guys!

Meki
See people --- there is hope... I'd love to hear more!

[desrt]

All PCRs undetectible since Feb 2003.

[zazza]

UND between week 13 and 15. Currently week 35/72.

[trolisgirl]

Had VL of 2,380,000 on my birthday Jan. 5 before starting TX.
I am genotype 2b and was UND on my week 12 PCR test.
I have 9 shots to go out of my 24 wks of TX.

[meki]

WOW trolis!

That's fantastic!

[triggertime]

Ive been UND since 12/07 I think. On 7/18 gastro said he is very pleased w/ my progress. He said blood levels are perfect. WHAT?  yes perfect. 22 more days of daily infergen shots and Im a free  man. He said I could cancel my aug appointment and get a PCR 12 wks after meds completed. The sides are still kickin me real hard. "I dont worry, cause Im sittin on top of the world".  I'll be a dancin testamony to completing tx. Good luck to all.

[MrsOckert]

Aren't you forgetting an entire group of people?  You're losing half of your statistics.  

You need to include the relapsers.

I wasn UND during entire TX, but relapsed at 6 months.  Therefore I'm neither SVR or UND.

[Bill1028]

Count me in as an UND, I just received my 76 week end of treatment labs and it is <5.  

[willows]

I'm trying to decide what you would call what I did....viral breathru at 30 weeks of the flying horsey.  So..I had vb at 30 weeks of SOC, so no SVR for me, not even an UND.  Lowest I got was 100,000 at 12 weeks after a starting load of 2 million.

Me got mutated virions at 30 weeks, no UND, no SVR, geno 1, no a or b specified, stage 3, grade 3, vb at 30 weeks SOC with Pegasys.  That sums it up. Sort of.

[geterdone]

UND <10 some where between 0 and 8 weeks curently week 20. Also found out i'm 1b instead of 1a just a little confused in the brain fog at this point.

[pln]

SVR, Vertex prove 1. Pam

[meki]

Ahhh yes - of course you are quite correct.

I did not count the relapsers.

I think the main purpose of the basic was that UND can be reached --- and so can SVR.

To give hope to those that are searching as to whether TX works.

I think the main answer then, would be, that TX does work for some. Not everyone. But it does work.

I'm sorry for those who have to do more than the basics. I feel for those who have to do more than one round. And for those who never clear. My heart goes to them. Because I don't know if I could have done more than one round. Those people - They deserve medals - Purple Hearts. Because that TX was the worst thing I've ever done. I made it through...

But I don't know if I could do it again.

Meki

[VXman]

I obtained UND at Week 4 of the Vertex Prove 3 trial and go in next week for the next major gate: Week 12. The tough part is knowing that the results will not be shared with me until Week 14. I am cautiously optimistic, and have been extra diligent regarding taking my meds at the scheduled times. My attitude is that one way or another, I'm going to have a SVR. Like professionals whom have credential abbreviations at the end ot their names: e.g., P.E., M.D., LVN, etc., I'm going to place SVR at the end of mine!  Oops! Got to go - time for my ribavirin!

[Alady1620]

I'm SVR.

[mauilady]

Guess I'm an UNDIE (good one, Hawke!!) hoping for SVR.  I've been done for a month after 24 wks.

[meki]

Right on you guys - that's some decent news!

And "Man"  LMAO!!! that's just the right attitude. But ya need to do yer profile... LOL!

Meki

[VXman]

Meki - you were right, it was time for me to submit a profile. Have a great weekend!

[trolisgirl]

I hope you achieve your SVR VXman and BOTH of you have wonderful spirits!!!
A sense of encouragement & a sense of humor can work wonders.
Hugs,
Sandra

[Pdilly]

I am only 4 months post and won't have another test until September.  I only consider my self UND at this time.  Maybe in 6 or 8 months if all goes well I may consider myself  SVR.

[meki]

Thank you very much Trolis --- Super hugs!

And Pd - WTG!!! Awesome!

Meki

[imbetternow]

I'm there. Und Heptimax.

[zena49]

noticed you tx 2 times what were you treated with. I'm a 3a also and relapsed first time on peginterferon- riv going to start again Monday 10- 15 on pegasys. First tx was in 02.

[Tri-guy]

Don't post often but like to check in occasionally to see what's up.   3a - SVR 4 years.

Doing TX was absolutely the best choice for me - never had a regret.

BJN

[zena49]

How long was your tx, and what were you on.

[Tri-guy]

I actually treated twice.  The first time in ’02 I used a peginterferon/ribavirin combination.  I developed a intestinal infection the first month of treatment and decided to suspend treatment for a year.  In ’03 I used Pegasys/ribavirin combo for 24 weeks.  No problems the second time around.

Female, age 56 (no biopsy, only Fibrospect II & ultrasound)

12 week post VL testing to be done next week - I claim UND right now!!

[GrandmaA]

At 4 weeks post tx I am still UND.

[nygirl7]

UND at 4 months post going for the 8 month (yeah Im strange) PCR on Monday afternoon. :)

Val hey I haven't seen you in so LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geno 1a and 1b 72 weeks Intron and 1200 riba minimum Stage 3 Grade 2

[moahunter]

Geno 1A.

Round 1 was Pegasys monotherapy (insufficient response at 12 weeks- during acute stage).

Round 2 is Pegintron / Riba combo therapy (technically started during chronic stage). UND at 4 weeks, about 30 odd weeks in of 48.

Symptoms of Round 2 are far far worse than Round 1 was indicating to me that Riba is the nasty drug in the mix, not interferon (or that Pegetron is much much worse for side effects than Pegasys).

[beamishboy]

SVR-1 yr post-trx!!!!...".break on thru to the otherside"....Goodluck to 'undies' and all others

[mremeet]

Geno 1a VX950 prove 1 trial participant --> 41 weeks of tx --> 3 month PCR UND = SVR. Can't believe I can actually say that now, but mannnn it feels good!! WOW!!!!! Here's EXACTLY how I feel about it:  http://www.darkharbor.com/snoopydance/

[Krusing]

Hi there Girlfriend!!!

I was 1a, vl 29,000,000, bx 3-4 and UND at week 4.  60 yr old female (59 when tx began). I am 5 months post tx and pcr is coming in 1 month.  If I'm still SVR, Doc says I, too, am CURED.

Shannon

[mar148]

SVR September of 2008 Genotype 3, starting VL 9 Million.

[mkp13]

UND since week 4 in the Telapravir trial.  My 4-weeks-post-treatment blood test will be the day after tomorrow.

[puppiepaws]

i was UND between 16 - 24.. but poops i relapsed after 48 weeks of TX but iam great..  i feel great

[YuK]

I will let you know in 2 more days when i get 12 wk  lab results.  I'm thinking positive.

[lalapple]

i'm UND!!  since 12th wk!!

[JackABCD]

Geno 1b, VL before treatement between 2-4 milion, UND since week 6, done 48 weeks of tx, now 4 weeks post tx I am UND.

My reccomendation - if your doc is telling you to go for treatement, do that, it is not easy but it is not so difficult, if you don't do the treatement it can be much more difficult.
It was difficult for me on some parts along the treatement but is was also very difficult for me to leave with the infection before the treatement.

So I recommend to do the treatement.

wish SVR for all of us.

Jack
