PCR

[honey1616]

Checking into let you know,,,,My PCR is showing no virus at 3 months!  That was a very emotional phone call because I have been on pins and needles lately and the relief is wonderful. I know I still have a ways to go but am just happy I made it to the first marker. Gives me much hope!  I had read so much this past year that I feel like I can write a book on hep and all the ups and downs LOL  I'm sure so many can relate.  I knew the odds for geno 1's is about 50% but for the ones that know me well,,,My husband had it and we were treating together so I always in back of my mind,,,,thought the chances of both of us clearing together might even be slimmer.  I didn't know what we would do if one cleared and other didn't because we both knew so well what this disease can do to you mentally. It can consume every thought at times and so much research!  For those that are treating now or fixing to start,,,,I am,,,,no wait,,,I WAS a geno 1A,,,,Viral load 8.5 million, no symptoms before starting other then tired at times,, 5'5,,130,,,Lost 10lbs on tx.  Dr never ordered a biopsy so have no idea of status of liver.  The tx at times was the pits and towards end,,,,I had terrible rash that took forever to clear.  We both stayed optimistic all the way and carried on doing our regular duties,,work etc so not to dwell on bad days.  The tx does work and this alone gives much hope to all out there.  Thank you,,,,Thank you to everyone for being here and listening and researching and advice.  It got me through day by day.

A big, big congratultions to you.   These reports are probably the most important function of this forum.  We can hear about headaches, blood counts, etc.   But when I hear just one of these stories, I get hope.
