in remission
my sister was diagnoised with hepitis c and they told her she was in remission what are the chances that it will go out of remission and if it did how long would she have to live. how long of being in remission does it take to not worry about getting the virus agian or is there a period of time and is there a cure for her if she does come out of remission?
“DescriptionTelaprevir, marketed under the brand names Incivek and Incivo, is a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of hepatitis C co-developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson. It is a member of a class of antiviral drugs known as protease inhibitors.”
Mostly today they are calling us cured remission is more of a cancer thing.
We had a virus the virus has been eridicated we are cured.
I treated 3 times with the old interferon based meds but was a null responder. I was finally cured in 2015 with 24 weeks of Harvoni and ribavirin. Unfortunately I eaddiagnosed with cirrhosis 7 years before I was able to find an effective treatment
Congrats on your cure of hep C

I have been in remission since 1998. Liver is now fully functual. Blood tests are normal, but still checked 2 times a year. I was treated at San Francisco State University in 1997, with Pegasus and another combination, the name of which I cannot remember (it started with a "T").
