Aa
Cured!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to everybody on the forum for helping me through treatment. I just got my six-month followup results and my viral load is UNDETECTABLE!! I'm psyched! Telaprevir in addition to SOC was a rough treatment, but it worked, so it's hard to complain too much. It's been wonderful to get my hair and strength back. Best wishes to all the others still fighting this virus. At least know that for some (maybe for you someday), there can be a good outcome.
wow thats so cool m8,i like hearing svr too,hopefully all of us 1 day will b clear.thats cool result for geno 1b.
Genotype 1b, initial viral load 2.36M IUs, stage 1, grade 2.
At the local Liver Conference a year ago I picked up a paper clip saying "I beat Hep C", as an investment in someday reaching SVR. It's been sitting on my desk ever since, waiting. Now I can use it with pride! It's my favorite drug-company give-away of all time.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

>Did you fail previous treatment without Telaprevir?
No, this was my first go-around. But note that this was with only 24 weeks of treatment instead of 48. The Telaprevir ended at week 12.
