Giggle... You're funny cakes!
Cirrhosis - not that's been Dx'd. Bx's have been in F 1-2 stages & Fibrosure has me at .48- so F2. MRI's say no evidence & clinically no ascites, HE(although some may say I act like it lol), no jaundice, no itching etc. pre treat fatigue & gastro issuesw/undesired weight loss) so I say no, but hepa also said I didn't have fibrosis, before fibrosure test.... So, dunno!

Are you cirrhotic? When did you start harvoni? AND...... Thanks for SUCH encouraging salutation :-)

I notice that you are on 12 wks of Harvoni as I am also.  Do you have any cirrhosis?

[cakes8267]

Ok before you freak out. I will tell you, I did not go UND until week 6 and I am waiting on my 8-week labs post now. I do know my liver functions are normal and my platelets are increasing, so I am hoping for good news. Not everyone gets UND at 4 weeks. The end game is what counts. Good luck.

You have a viral load of 550, the log 2.740 is just another way of saying this. Best to you.
