Post your stats

Back in the early fall I started a spreadsheet on everyone starting treatment, mostly with the triple therapy, since about July.  There are about 85 screen names on it and I have missed many.  when I see people posting their PCRs and bad side effects, I try to get them on my spread sheet but I miss so many.  Can you help me?

This is what I want:
Start date
Whether you treated before or were treatment naive and if before, how many treatments and were you a responder, null responder, or did you have a break through
Are you cirrhotic
If you know your genetic IL28b - CC CT TT
VL at 2,4,6,8,12 - whenever you get it
Victrelis or Incevik or other
If you stopped Incevik early, when
If you had a really bad side effect
Whether you have anemia and have dose reduced, had transfusions, or procrit
Whether you have neuptopenia and have dose reduced or use neupogen

I will try to find a way to post it and keep it updated so we all can look at it somehow.   If nothing else, I can scan it and put it in my pictures.

When I first saw you were doing this I got to work on putting up a journal with the details, but here's a short and simple version:
57 year old female
Genotype 1 HCV
Stage 4 cirrhosis
Non-responder on interferon monotherapy in late 1990's
Slow responder on dual therapy in 2005, eventually UND but relapsed 2006
Now on triple Tx with Incivek, started 9/23/11
Starting VL 9,800,000
2 week VL 236
WBC now 1.4 but Abs. Neut. 650. Will need rescue if it drops below 500
Horrible nausea, but helped by Zofran
Extreme fatigue, slight relief 1x daily with ritalin (was already taking for fatigue before beginning Tx.)

Lots of UNDs in there!  Nice, very nice.  It would be useful if genotype were included b/c we all know 1 is the hardest to treat.  Most other are basically going to be cured.  The UND rate in the spreadsheet seems to be higher than the avg success rate from trials with Incivek.

4/25 hemo RBC 9.6, hair falling out, fatigue, rash, weight loss, all bad side effects
6/15 randomized to quit all drugs as still und and in arm 1
as of 11/2/11 still und
Praise the powers that be!

Thank you for all the wonderful information you are getting together for the benefit of others.

Husband was not so lucky.  We believe he received placebo and soc, had to quit at 23 week because of severe side effects and the virus has returned.  We are weighing our option at this point.  He is still recovering from severe side effects and won't consider any further treatment at this time.  Was on same study but probably different arm.  He did go und at approx. two months in, but virus returned in less than a month post treatment.  Please send good vibs his way.
