Hey guys i just need some support here.. Getting ultrasound done on Fri 20th.. Dr told me i appear to be doing really good to be a relapser.. I try really hard to take care of self.. I guess iam just looking for some support..
Iam doing tx for another 3 mths to a year.. Last time a year and 1/2 ago bx showed 2 and 2 ..

cause at 6weeks after tx i had viral done and it was like 1 million and something and ast and alt were high then..

How do you know you relapsed if you didn't have your VL done?

[puppiepaws]

yes iam a relapser as of aug this past year.. Iam geno 1A and i treated for 48 weeks, before tx my vl load was 2 million and something.my grade was 2 and stage 2. . and now i feel like I had a blessing poured upon me.. I didnt get viral load cause viral doesnt really mean anything unless we are treating what i understand in a class i took, i have educated myself alot but still have lots of questions and my dr is very formal and follows thru all the way.. Yeah one time in the past after relapse i started to go to Duke but dr recommend, wait and let see what blood work is doing.. so i did and now iam glad i did..Also what i have heard even if u relapsed, during tx we are giving our liver a rest basically.. Trust me guys iam all knew to this but i try hard to live healthy as possible and it was like a snap crackle pop in my life, just over nite cause i wanna get better and iam determined and yall guys are the best support team that i have admired here..I think yall for all imputs of anyones life..It takes alot to have people that are caring and know the disease.. Yall have a great day :)     Sandy

Wow, your numbers really do look pretty darn good!  I'd kill for that platelet count. Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

You sure you relapsed?  I read some of your old posts and some of the things you said that your doc said seemed a little bit 'off'.  I think you also said you were heading to Duke.  Have you had a viral load test in the last year? (since the 'relapse' pcr)

Probably as a relapser you should be doing 48 weeks minimum (I dont know but am assuming you are not a geno 1).  Your liver enzymes look pretty good considering you have the disease = they are not yet out of line at all.  You must be living a good, healthy liver lifestyle right now so keep it up!
