Hi Rocky
Nope we are just doing the 12 week. Any tests prior, while a good sign don't really mean anything until the 12 week test.
My viral load is scheduled for next Wedneday 9/3 hope to hear a week later so by 9/10.
I am also doing a just to make absolutely sure viral load at 6 months so that would be early December. Since I was dx with cirrhosis in Jan 06 and I have some edema, ascities and have had esophageal varicies banded. And being a 3 time null responder I most definately want to make sure the dragon is dead
Good luck
happy dancing for you still
Lynn
This is fantastic. Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Nuff said. You have been thru hxxx and back and Won. I love reading your post that you have SVR'd. I have two more days of tx pills and I also will be singing in the forum. Again, Congratulations! Awesome news. GoGG
Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal. You are right - we can live with early cirrhosis. Being able to say cured is a good feeling.

Keep me posted I would love to do the Happy Dance for you. Did they do a VL at 6 weeks. I guess there is no set protocol but my Dr. is testing at 6 weeks as it seems they are finding if you are going to relapse it will be in the first 6 weeks. Then they test at 12 weeks. They are also doing a VL when I go in NOV., this one is to give peace of mind to patients. Aftter 9 tx I want it repeated in NOV.
hello i relapsed 1 month after treatment
Rocky, that is fabulous news. Congratulations!
Wishing you the very best.
Congratulations!!!! So very happy for you!
So you finished treatment in late May then and are 12 weeks post treatment and SVR that is excellent!
Doing my version of the snoopy happy dance for you yay hip hip hooray!!
You are just a bit ahead of me then. I took my last meds on June 10 and waiting to do my 12 week post treatment test on September 3. I am hoping beyond hope I hear the same that I am also SVR 12 and cured.
The more folks getting cured the better for all and everything.

Yes with the Sovaldi and Olysio they do a VL at 6 weeks and again at 12 weeks. If UND at 12 weeks they consider you cured!
I did a Happy Dance for you!

I remember you and how you struggled like crazy with so many treatments.
Congrats for finally slaying this beast and getting rid of this horrible virus. I cannot think of anyone more deserving. (Tho we all are so I hope you know what I mean) Seriously Kodos for hanging in there and never giving up and bouncing back from the side effects from each treatment.
With this treatment if you SVR for 12 weeks you are considered cured. They will do a VL at 3mos for piece of mind!
When you say that you are cured, do you mean that you are SVR at EOT or SVR at EOT + 12?
Mike
This is so incredible and I'm very happy for you! Like someone else said, each cure gives me hope.
What an example of fortitude and persistance!!! Great - Congrats!
A big congrats to you!! I remember you being hospitalized with tx 8. Your incredible perseverance has paid off.
Whoohoo!!

I have thought only SVR (sustained viral response) at 12 weeks after treatment has ended is considered cured.
My doctor did not test me for viral load when I completed treatment. Her plan is to test at 12 weeks after I finished treatment which will be on 9/3/14 to determine if I am cured.
From what others have posted everyone becomes UND on treatment and all who fail relapse by 12 weeks post treatment.
When did you complete treatment are you 12 weeks post? Anyway undetectable is great to hear no matter what hope you have made it to SVR and are cured.
