side effects

Hi,
I have completed over 30 weeks of therapy and have had up until now not one side effect from combination therapy.
Is this unusual and would it be expected that later side effects occur?
Will be completing 72 weeks of therapy and must admit the time is beginning to drag

I am at week 34 and have only had a very few side effects.  Mostly tired and some crankyness.  But that can change.

Why are you going to do 72 weeks?  Usually you don't do 72 unless you are not UND at week 12 is why I'm wondering. 72 weeks IS a drag believe me.  Once I past 48 I thought I was going to lose my mind...I think because I knew I was supposed to be "done" already.

The longer you are on the interferon the more chances of getting real problems.  I had major sides all throughout but it wasn't until around week 30 where my thyroid was shot and I got the autoimmune diseases going on.  Don't get me wrong I"d do the 72 again to get to sVR..but if you don't HAVE to do it I'm wondering why you would?

my doc believes because I was borderlin non dectable in 12th week and had a log drop of nearly 3.4 I should extend therapy.
He then did blood tests in 14 th week 18th 22  24 28 and non dectable

I am not a doc and am clueless
