Viral load undetected

Got 4 wk. lad results back yesterday, an was totally shocked to see on paper viral load went from way over 7 million to undetected to undetected after just 4 wks.  I know from what I'm learning, that was to be expected with new treatment but have NEVER got an " undetected " before.  I know not to let myself get carried away yet, but HOPE is building..  Having a few nasty little sides but that result sure makes it worth it.  Take care, everyone

Thanks everyone.. Like my doctor promised me, this treatment is WAY more tolerable.   I was so skeptical.  I beginning to think I had a touch of PTSD  from that horrible interferon treatment, an when he mentioned treatment, I literally was stressed, tears, very opposed to even talking about it.  I'm kinda ashamed to say it, but he had to talk me into it.  I mean, it's my health an my future.  He shouldn't have had to talk me into it.  I certainly feel like a foolish ole woman now an I must have a very patient doctor.  I just know I'll finish treatment this time around an hoping everybody else does to.  Take care.
