Great News

Left the doctors office today found out my last shot is Sept 30th 28 weeks instead of the 48 wahooo! Wanted to let everyone know who just started or just pushing to get through it dont stop now that I look back at the suffering in the first 10 weeks I am so so so glad I didnt quit like I wanted too!  
Remember just take a nap when the rough gets rough.
Hugs to All of You

Yes..lets hope they are correct that you were UND. at week 8 ,as 28 weeks total would then be the regime ,however I recall you posting your numbers at week 10 saying it was a week ago's results and they said <43 Det.

Sometimes, and I hope this is not the case  nurses and unfortunately even some of he treating doctors are having trouble interpreting the often confusing lab report on PCR"s

Good dea to have them double check and if they are not absolutely certain they should clarify with the lab as this is very important.

Fingers crossed that it was not misinterpreted

I have no clue all I know when I started was she wouldnt say if I was doing the year or the shorter treatment maybe because I was flipping out about doing this for a year and she didnt want to make any promises until blood results were in!  I just know I am happy to have it confirmed for sure... Yes I almost quit in the beginning if it wasnt for all of you I was so dizzy and sick they finally figured out I had Vertigo due to sinus problems!  Anyone who wants to give up DONT If I can do it anyone can!

Well that was my first shot I took it on March 2rd so I guess my first week would be the following Friday right?  Thats how I started miss counting.

Well.... if your first shot was on Mar.2nd .  then your 8 week PCR would have been just prior to your  9th shot on April 27th., and this is the test you would need to be UND. to qualify for "response guided therapy of 28 weeks.
