Not detectable - my "forbidden" triple therapy
Hello everybody
Just a quick update about the personalised triple with Boceprevir.
Maybe some of you can remember that I have been increasing/decreasing Victrelis basically since I started, in April this year. Against many people, some literature, and what seems to be common practice.
But according to my hepatologist, who never lost his confidence and my trust.
My viral load wasn't certainly less than 100 at week 12 - I think around 260 - but we kept going, and after 4 months was less than 30; after 5 months not detectable and I will repeat it when I'll be back from well deserved holidays.
I am obviously happy, side effects still very little a part from blood cells low which is the reason why my therapy, as per other fellow patients, has been adjusted. Last blood test also showed ferritin increasing, while liver panel is fine. I will ask my doctor next time.
So here we go, I know is still a long way to go and anything can happen, I just wanted share this with you here and give something to think about.
Have faith, God bless you all.
