STILL UND 3 months post tx

by wyntre9, Jul 16, 2008 05:08PM
I just wanted to share my fantastic news. Today i got my 3-month post-labs report and it's still NEGATIVE!

72 weeks of he11 may just have been worth it!  

Hang in there all you  TX'ers!

You have good reason for optimism. If I was a betting man.....never mind because I am a betting man but I doubt seriously that I could get a line.

I think the rest of it is pure formality, Wyntre… my best guess is “you’re there”! And it sounds as though you arrived in one piece, too :o). Birdseed all around; make it double millet, my friend!

I’m so glad things worked out for you, gal… do stay in touch and let us know how things are going,

Congratulation! It has been a long haul but it has paid off for you. Enjoy the continuing success of the journey now that the rapids have become calm.

congratulations, I only did 24 weeks (type3) of treatment and was 12 week post treatment undetected about 6 weeks ago.  24 weeks pales in comparison to 72 so very deserved great.  When i got my 12 week as clear I was ecstatic.  maryellen

Congratulations. It was a long road to travel. I seem to remember that 3 months is a 95% SVR. I

Congratulations!!! Unless you're stage 4, an UND 3 month correlates close to 100% with the six month. With stage 4 I think the correlation is over 90%.

Enjoy your well earned SVR and say "hi" to Polly for me :)

Bill, geterdone, Fl. Guy, Meki, proactive, pigeon, mar, marcia, sunspot, mike, jmjm,

YIPPEEEEE!!!!!

I haven't been posting or peeking much the past 3 months coz A) I'm TRYING to jumpstart my life and B) I was so sick of being sick I didn't want any reminders.  

Selfish, yes, but in retrospect i swear i don't know how the heck I made it through the past 21 months.

I will post later about post-TX side-effects and get more involved with forum now that it seems it's almost safe to come in out of the cold.  (although i'm still a bit anxious about the 6 month).

JIM!!!!!!!   OMG!  THANKS for posting the 3-month 100% correlation with the 6 month!~

congratulations! read a line recently about measuring one's success by what you had to give up to get there - and after 72 weeks that's a h**l of a long road. All the best.

YES!!! You truly are worth SVR after all you have been through! I am so happy it is looking GREAT for you so far! And being the one who strongly recommended 72 weeks to you, I am relieved! Sometimes, it seems, endurance will bring us a reward.

by wyntre9, Jul 18, 2008 01:06PM
Zazza,
Yup!  I did 72 coz of research and data you posted!  Hugs to you!

Rglass,
Thanks for checking in.  How is your post-tx  going?

Willing, Jeff, H2Olover, Hawk,
Thanks for your good wishes.
Hawk,
How's your recovery going?

H2Olover,
How much longer 'til your 6 month?

by R Glass, Jul 18, 2008 01:40PM
To: wyntre
Post tx is a little disappointing but I think it is my fault due to “unfair expectations.” I thought recovery would come a lot faster.
I am still a Recluse and feel comfortable inside the four walls of my bedroom. When I get home from work, that’s where I retreat. I am sure this will pass in time.
Tx changes a lot of people and I am not sure who this new person is or if I like him.
I still have about 3 weeks before my 3-month follow up. R. Glass

by mar148, Jul 18, 2008 01:59PM
I wrote into Doctor Douglas and he stated 12 weeks clear is OVER 95 PERCENT indication of SVR.  Some say if you are not cirrhotic it is 100 percent.  That is what I have been leaning on while I wait for my 24 week.  Mary Ellen

G Lass,
it's only inretrospect that I realize what a total uncivilized, unsociable, reclusive  mess I was and still am.  
Part of it was the wounded-animal-retreating-to-a-cave-to-nurse-its-wounds syndrome.  I found things were easier the less people contact I had  Now, I've grown used to it and rather like my solitude.
I know what you mean about TX changing you.  i feel like I'm starting life all over and sometimes it scares the sh!t outta me but then I think about what an opportunity it is/was, to shed one's skin
