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.

WHEW HOO ...

WAY TO GO HONEY!!!!!

That is truly WONDERFUL News... & I know that a huge burden has been lifted off you shoulders... I can hear that sigh of "Relief" from here!!!!

Yep, Yep.... You & Joe are gonna get to grow old together & sit in those Rocking Chairs on the porch, playing with the grandchildren!

Listen, just the fact that you two went thru TX together at the same time was an inspiration to me... & this news just made my day!!!

I am Sooo HAPPY For You!!!

great news you too! I don't wish I have heard ALL the sides before tx, it might have kept me way away! as it stands, I heard enough to keep me a tad scare.

I'll say you are as good as cured.

If we are to write a book, we better do it soon, I am forgetting I ever had hep c and did 72 wks of poisons, I have to keep looking at my bloodwork copies to confirm that it did happen, and it was not a nightmare on Elm st.

Yahoooo! Congrats on your PCR results. That is wonderful news to read. I hope you are having a nice celebration! LL

I am SO happy for you! I just got my 5 month back and it too is negative. I can't believe all the 1As that are clearing.  
     I know that is has been a long ride for you and your husband. Writing a book on the ups and downs. lol. I have thought the same thing at times. We should get all of our stories together and write one, if for noone else but ourselves or people just starting out. I wish that I had heard about ALL the sides and problems before I had started. Thank goodness that I had these forums to get me through. As friends and families are wonderful but they have no REAL idea what we go through not only physicaly but mentally as well.

We have beat the odds..and have truely been blessed.
