my 24 week next monday and scared..

[stangshelly]

Hello all, when reading through the posts i am getting more anxious about my test on mon. 24 week pcr, what if I didn't clear? I have been feeling better as of late but is that a good sign? my biopsy showed a coarse liver..also noted in report that possible small mass which wasn't mentioned by dr. ultrasound showed craters here and there and looked weird and  coarse like the surface of the moon. would that mean scarring? dr stated fibrosis moderate. they were to do a mri but cancelled after biopsy was done. should i ? the mass ? dr. didn't seem concerned. at 12 week had 150,000 bugs left and down from spec test of 6.6 million before tx. i am geno 1a,and stage 2, grade 2 and i know the odds are not as good for geno's 1...thanks for any information...

p.s. puppy has me running..makes me laugh...goes to vet today...9 weeks old now and he is growing fast! dark blue eyes and mask is black he is so cute,and full of energy! if i only had 1/4 of the energy life would be good lol...thanks again to all..:) shelly

what doses have you been on? having 150,000 reading on the 12th wk was not a good thing, especially if they left everything the same.  Chances are there is still going to be a viral load present if they did not up any of the meds.  I am hoping that is not the case, but almost every member that showed a higher than 10,000 VL on the 12th wk, was still detectable at 24.  Please be prepared to make big decissions next wk.  As I said, I am hoping you can just carry on, after a negative 24 wk PCR, because we can always hope for the best.

Good luck!  I hope you clear.

Try to stay positive.  I know it's hard but attitude is EVERYTHING.

Try not to worry or let what happened to me and others get you down.  Their have been many who cleared this virus with the results you have so don't worry.  Also doing tx will help your liver no matter what.

Good luck with the 24 week results! If I was i your shoes, I would push for the MRI or CT scan if you want more info about that mass and a clearer definition of what they saw regarding your scarring. I'd wat to make sure just what the mass is and not go by the ultrasound alone.
Puppy sounds so cute!

THAT WAS ONLY A 1.65 LOG DROP. IF NOT BETTER AT 24 WEEKS THEY MOST LIKELY WILL DISCONTINUE TX.

HOW CAN THEY COUNT THAT MANY WITH THEM WIGGLING???

Your puppy sounds cute...what did you name her/him?  You will be fine on your PCR.   As far as the mass... I am a curious person and would push for more tests but maybe its nothing. Does your doctor sound concerned?
