I'm sorry to hear of your relapse. :(
I didn't clear during treatment with Victrelis/ Ribavirin/Interferon in 2012 and remember how devastated I was. I just finished 12 weeks of Sovaldi/ Ribavirin and Interferon and am in that post treatment/waiting to checkVL place.
I am hopeful to reach SVR, but am scared I will not. If not, I will grieve again and then get my fight back on. We are all in this together- every SVR and relapser. We support each other in the fight.
Keeping you in my thoughts...

My doctor told me that EVERYONE on Sovaldi will attain an undetectable viral load during treatment. That's why he didn't test mine anytime after the 4-week check. He said he would expect an undetectable viral load at 8 and 12 weeks after starting Sovaldi, so there was no reason to test it.
My understanding is that most people who relapse after treatment with Sovaldi will do so within the first 12 weeks after ending treatment, and my doc says this is why a viral load test done AFTER you stop taking Sovaldi is more important than any viral load test done DURING treatment.
Again, cooderbrown, I'm really sorry about your relapse. I hope your next treatment attempt is successful.
