Welcome aboard! Wishing us all success on this journey!
It's the third time for me too. I did Ribavirin and Interferon 3x/week in 98 and Victrelis, Ribavirin and Interferon in 2012. I had the same results, partial response but didn't clear. I'm on Sovaldi, Ribavirin and. Interferon now. I start week 7 of 12 on Friday. Haven't found ou my 4 week VL yet, but am hoping for good news!
Go get that dragon!
Hope your viral load is undetected!!!!!!
Wishing you luck, minimum sides and SVR. Jo
Good luck and be sure and drink lots of water!!!!
I'm hoping this next journey will be a successful one. The new treatments are outstanding, and believe finally the virus will be seeing its long awaited demise.. Be well and stay strong. ...Kim
I treated two times with the awful interferon, one time for 72 weeks. I waited 3 years for this to arrive as well while new things came down the pipeline for other genotypes. The thing is my blood tests were pretty positive and my hep viral count grew slowly so i was happy not to go through the torture.
Thanks for all the nice replies. Feeling pretty good so far.
I'm new to forum an started solvaldi/ribasphere on June 24. I have also been treated with interferon in 1992 but only made it 4 mths into due to side affects. Did not follow up with any m.d. Unti now. I've gotten a lot of encouraging advice concerning the new drugs out. I was frightened about side affects but so far being only a week into tx. , I seem to be very encouraged. Slight headache, off an on but compared to interferon, a cake walk. We're in the same time frame of tx. An I'm hoping u breeze thru this tx an become Hcv free
