Relapsers after 6 months?
I keep hearing that after 6 months UND/SVR we can consider ourselves cured so to speak.
has anyone relapsed after 6 months? Or heard of anyone?
It just seems so sad to me that we are seeing so many relapses. I hear that its around 50% that are cured... so I shouldn't be so discouraged. It's all so sad to me!
My husband is making lots of plans for career changes after his treatment. It's all a little scary as I know the odds/percentages.

After six months UND, SVR is supposed to be 98-99% durable. After one year UND, close to 100% durable.
Deb,
Sorry about your relapse, but when you say you "relapsed after six months", are you saying that you were UND at six months and then at some later point had detectible virus again -- or are you saying that you had a viral load test at six months and found out you had the virus?
I ask because I think what "Pink" is asking is if there's anyone who was UND at six months post treatment and then at some point after that became detectible again.

I relapsed after 6 months. It was not fun to hear! But also I think that to give up on life and just sit and wait is not good either. I guess for me the insurance thing would be a big qualifier in changing jobs.
So much I think, about most things is attitude, not to say I haven't had the doom and gloom moments. I do, but every day as corny as it sounds, I look to the blessings and the things I can do, help someone else or just making the effort. For me bottom line and hope this does not sound terribly corny and silly, but hope and perseverance are all we have. So it's ok to be scared and fearful, and to be the reign holder, but be glad he is also thinking forward!
Again hope this does not sound patronizing or corny!
