I'm surprised. I thought the protocol was blood work on week 4 of treatment, end of treatment, and then 4 weeks after treatment. Anyway, that is what my doctor is doing.
Hi Randy,
Back on the community. Sorry to hear your 4th week BW was not undetectable. Did you get your results from the BW you had on the 19th? Hang in there,
I should also mention that I did get 4 wk labs back & still carrying VL of 550. At first, I went into panic. Then some very wonderful folks on here, data collector at sp pharma, said " don't worry be happy" this happens frequently & my VL did drop from 9,500,000 to 550... I'd say that's a miracle :-) having another PCR on 19th (7 wk mark) & hope to see the rest of those viral buggers gone...
Prayerful, hopeful & blessed
Randy
Interesting, I started Harvoni Dec 9th and was told the exact samething. I guess both of our Doctors are looking out for the insurance companies. Although it makes sense. I will get a normal lab done next week to check other parameters, just not the viral load test. I'm actually considering getting the pcr test a month after EOT instead of right after treatment.
Taking Harvoni as well. Started on Dec 8. I asked about blood tests and he said that since everyone goes undetected by EOT the only blood test I need is 12 weeks after Im done.
I'm curious as heck though especailly after seeing your post
I treated on Sovaldi/Olysio. Undetected so far .I will get svr12 test next month. I will post results.
Woooo Hoooo- hepper "date" twin!! :-)
This is so awesome!! I think it's perfect to savor the words no matter which week milestone! So happy for you!
I had labs on Monday, but with NYE & Day, I won't get them till Monday... Praying!
So nice!
Blessings~Randy
