Anyone have their boceprevir consent form handy?

I’m at work and got a message saying that I’m still detectable with a VL of 37 at week 12.  If I recall, the consent said that I would be notified between week 12 and 16.  I would be given the choice of dropping out or get the real drug open label.  This is assuming that I was on the placebo.  If anyone has time to look at the consent form to see if I’m correct or if there are other options I would appreciate it.

One other bit of info, is that I was undetectable (<5) on my first 2 attempts at treatment by week 12.  Perhaps it is the pegintron this time, where as the first 2 attempts were with pegasys.

Wait a minute this may be a good thing, in your prior 2 treatments you did respond and achieved und by week 12 with pegasys and now with pegintron down to a vl of 37 so to me both of the pegs have worked. Ok so you’re a gym locker, the important thing is both pegs do work so if you can do the rollover and have to start with the peg/riba for the first 4 weeks and then add in the boc (the real deal) it just may put you over the top with the disinfectant knocking out the more stronger virions. Stay positive all in not lost in the gym. Rocker was thinking the same thing on the cycling.

On the other hand didn´t jim just posted something about restarting maybe could be a good thing I don´t know .
I´m gonna keep you in my prayers.

You how have relapsed more than once I really want you to succed.

Also think you will no mather what, i must say I also think your lucky that was detectable
week 12.
Ram and Greatbirds who are nullresponders and cando and rocker how hasn´t responded as well as you( not sure about rockers respond first tx) they all seems to kick the virus down big time, so Man if you gonna get the blue pills the viros want stand a change.

Good luck and best wishes!!!
