4 week labs just in....
I am flying higher than a kite!
From experience, my doc has never seen a cirrhotic liver go undie in 4 weeks, and he did everything to prep me that I was going to be taken off tx if I didn't drop a log. WELL.........
This was his email I just received. I love that man, and I love all the herbs and milk thistle I've been taking, and in spite of what many of you think of them or me, I love you all, too....
Dear Chris,
Congratulations! It looks like you have a virologic response with a drop in
viral load from log 6 to undetectable virus. This is obviously a great sign
that you will have a "sustained virologic response" after completion of
treatment. Keep up the great work! I will be in touch with Carol on Monday
regarding these results.
Best regards,
Joseph

That is wonderful news illo! It makes treatment more tolerable when you know its working.
That makes two of us who were undetectable at 4 weeks. I did not have a liver biopsy, just opted for treatments once I found out from the American Red Cross that I had Hep C.
I did shot 5 last night. Each week gets easier! Best wishes for your continued success illo! I will check in with you periodically to see how you are doing. I plan on completing all 24 weeks. How about you?
