Waiting 3 month test and 3 months post treatment

Hello everyone.
It has been a while since I posted and so I wanted to check in. I feel like a different person now that treatment is 3 months behind me. I have regained all of my strength and am swimming and back at yoga. My hair has started to grow back and actually looks quite funny sticking straight up on my head. But it only makes me smile because it is coming back and that is all that matters.
I have large dark circles under my eyes that haven't gone away and hope they are not here to stay. Anyone have any experience with this?

Just took my 3 month test and will know the results in a few weeks. I was type 3a, extremely high viral load and very difficult treatment.
Many of you know that 2 weeks post treatment, my sister took her life and so the last 3 months have been pure hell. I don't know what effects all the stress has put on my body. I just hope tests come back clear.

Best wishes to all. I hope everyone has been hanging in there.

I am also a 3a. I finihed treatment 2 years ago. I was tested 8 months post tx and was still SVR. I just had another viral load test and I'm waiting for the results. I find I now take better care of myself. I just had a colonoscopy and had 3 polyps removed, I also had my bladder scoped, its nice to know everything is good. When were dealing with hep we tend to forget ther are other potential problems we have to watch for, especially when were over 50. Ella were fortunate to be 3a, in all likelyhood you will not have to worry about hep anymore.

Just wanted to say that I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.  I just made it through the waiting for my 12 PCR, and I can only imagine that waiting for the 3 month post-tx test is even more stressful!  Best of luck to you!
