3 months post tx pcr- relapsed!

  My Doctor called tonight and my 3 month post pcr was 19,600...My liver enzymes were 270 and 320!   I did 48 weeks and never missed a dose. My biopsy was stage3 grade4 so I knew the odds weren't good. But I have been feeling so good since 2 weeks off meds. I have energy and look so much better.(except for the hair)    My Dr. is referring me to a different Dr. then the one I had for treatment. I'm going to consult with him and see what he suggests. I guess I'll just go from here and see whats next.    -Libby

I know how you feel.  Thanks for your kind words in my thread on the other side.  Yep we're in the same boat like many others on this sight.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I think I want a biopsy since my last was Jan. 2005.  I'll do a little research on Fibrosure and Fibroscan.  My last biopsy was a bad one so these other options are appealing. I'll see where I'm at on the fibrosis scale and then go from there.  Keep me posted on your plans. I'll do the same.  I sure know a lot more for next time around thanks to everyone on this sight.  I started as a mere nymph and now am a warrior.

I'm so sorry to hear about your recent tests.  I do agree with what Forseegood about the probability that treating actually preserved your liver longer even though you've unfortunately had a three month post breaththrough.

You did respond and nicely too frijole.  How could you have known?  You were clear at 12 weeks and stayed clear throughout!  The relapse is a set back alright.   Let your doctor make a battle plan, you rest up, get strong then go out and kill 'em again.  I know you can.
