Still UND

Hello everyone,

I haven't posted much lately as finances have resulted in no inet at home.  I began a telapravir trial on Jan 9, 2009 and was taken off after 34-weeks because I got too sick, ended up with Pancreatitis and blah blah blah.  I am now almost 4-months post treatment and am still UND even after having treatment stopped early.  These new protease inhibitors are awsome as most of us already know.  The nurse said that if I am still UND on my next draw in 2-months they are going to consider me cured.  Just wanted to share the good news.

way to go!  Be sure to post again in 2 months.  Did the Telapravir cause the inflamation (inflammation) and or infection to your pancreas?

That's great news! (Except the part about the pancreatitis.)

Great news, congrats!  Did they tell you exactly when you were first UND?  Were you RVR?

On the Telapravir trial they don't give you specifics such as when you went UND until the end of the trial so I don't know that information yet.

According to the Hepatologist, the Interferon caused the Pancreatitis.  He said he's seen it twice in his years of practice, which has been quite a few.

Thanks to all of you for your supportive comments.  I am looking forward to my "diploma" can-do-man!  I'm sure tippyclub is too.
