This cirrhotic has SVR'd
Because of insurance and financial concerns I delayed my latest PCR until I was hovering around the 7 month post triple tx. mark. I received a voicemail from my P.A. today....I am clear...I post this more to educate than to celebrate. I was on the bottom rung of the stat ladder....I failed both mono and dual therapy (null responder) over the last 2 decades and have cirrhosis with varices and thrombocytopenia. Also my Incivek was discontinued at 10 weeks secondary to rash and anemia and my ribo was reduced at around 7 weeks secondary to anemia.....Relative to my time spent on therapy I feel terrific. I am more anabolic (building muscle when I work out) have less insomnia, and have stopped having nocturnal cramps...My best. d
Oh WOW! I'm happy happy for you. You had an uphill battle! And you made it! I hope you and your family are getting back to normal. Well, a new normal. xo Karen:)
That is SO awesome!! It broke my heart, when I saw the photos of you with your beautiful family,and I prayed hard for you,as I do for all of us on here. This is the best news to hear :)
youdennis, this is music to my ears. Let me ask you two things -- did you have the varies before you treated or did that happen during or after? I am wondering about that because of the greater risk to decomp during treatment with cirrhosis. Also I was wondering, with the thrombocytopenia, how low were your platelets to start, how low did they get during, and what are they now?
I am so delighted that you achieved SVR. I know it was not an eazy journey (you did 48, right?)
