24 week PCR results
Hello everyone!
I am happy to say that my 24 week PCR shows I am still <10 or undetectable!!
Here are some of my labs at baseline and now.
Baseline:
ALT 201
AST 109
HCV RNA 2,749,241
Stage 2, grade 2
Type 1a
24 weeks:
ALT 75
AST 47
HCV RNA <10
HGB 12.2
ABS NEUTROPHILS 660= LOW
Side affects:
Hair Loss, slight weight loss, dry skin, irritability and low ABS Neutrophils.
The low ABS Neutrophils have been managed with Neupogen which I take almost every week.
I was very apprehensive about tx because of the fear of the sides and all that. Yes, I have sides but have been lucky not to have any severe sides except for low neutrophils which I have said already has been managed with Neupogen.
I hope everyone is doing ok with their tx and hope the best for every one.
God bless you all.

Next Monday or Tuesday should be my big RESULT DAY! Although you know me I am going to start calling them on Friday and bugging them so when the result comes in they will do ANYTHING to get rid of me and fax it over ASAP. :)
I can be SUCH a pain!
Keep yourself busy the waiting is the worst. You will be NEGATIVE, I just know it. Attitude means a lot and yours is great. My prayers are with you
