Undetected 3 mos. post tx
Hi everyone,
I just got my 3 month post tx PCR--Undetected. I see a lot of new names here and wish you all the best with the least amount of side effects during tx.
My stats are/were:
1B, VL 2.5 million, G2S1, 47 female, treated 48 weeks with Peg-Copeg.
There is life after treatment and it is better for me. I did lose my thyroid function due to tx and am still trying to get that regulated--perhaps it may return as I am still in the window of 6-17 months for normalization after tx. All in all tx was awful, but "doable". Places like this forum helped me help myself and gave me hope.
Good luck and prayers to all those starting and still on tx.

There is hope and I wanted to share it. As I kept my health status relatively private I didn't have many to share my good news with. Thank you all everyone for the support. :)))))
jmjm--I am glad to hear the 3 month PCR puts me in the 99% range, I will get another PCR in January, then in a year, then perhaps it will be put to a final rest. I hope the thyroid comes back as it is a pain to deal with, but "doable" as we say. LOL
Califia--3 shots left? Almost there. I will be looking for your post on how your health improves after tx. All of a sudden someone will say, hey, your skin looks better, you will find sudden energy and a sense of caring about things again. Congrats on getting to the finish.
IWillbeatHCV--my only PCR was at 12 weeks during tx which was undetected and then the 3 month post-tx PCR. I pray undetected on your next PCR.
Extra prayers for those who have relapsed and I hope those "new drugs down the pipeline" get here soon to help erradicate this bug.

Great news! Things are looking very good for you and I wish you the best luck. Mike
GREAT NEWS! Tx is a tough struggle....but SVR makes it worthwhile.
Best luck to all,
Ben
Ah, my treatment sister, well done! It was Cuteus who posted that 3 months study and it could well be that you've made it to the top of the SVR mountain. Must feel incredible. I opted to do 60 weeks, so I havethree shots left and believe me, your news has given me a real lift this morning. Take care of yourself and have a simply wonderful virus-free life.
Congrats again!!
Do you remember what your 4 week PCR results were? Because my numbers were similar to yours pre-tx. I am 1a, 2.7 million VL and my 4 week PCR was 178,000. I am in my 6th week...

The most heartfelt congratulations. May you only get healthier. You're giving hope to all of us out here.
So glad you're clear! Thank you for all your info & reminders on this forum about getting your thyroid checked during treatment. I sure hope your thyroid function returns to normal.
May you have peace after this hard time,
Laika

Hooray for you!! As other people wrote, the 3 month is now being considered as reliable as the 6 month. So consider yourself cured!! You really deserve this. I continue to be appreciative of the information and knowledge you shared with me early on. Thank you and all the best.
Excellent news! You must be dancing in the clouds. Get out and celebrate : ) Awesome seeing another type 1 hit SVR.
Wonderful news!! Sounds like you are on the right path for the virus to be gone! ha Hope you get your thyroid straightened out and continue to feel better day by day. Tx is starting to seem like we came out of a daze huh? LOL More like a nightmare daze! There is so much of that is starting to fade but one thing that is not fading is,,,,,I know that I don't want to do it again! Take Care!
So happy for you. It must be so wonderful to get that kind of news. Wahoo, you did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is hope for all of us. Enjoy your newfound freedom. Judi
That's wonderful news! Just read somewhere that clearing 3-month post tx is about as accurate as 6 months. In fact, this particular study wanted to change to the def of "SVR" to 3-months post treat clearance. That means you're like 99% home free! Hopefully the thyroid will bounce back as it often does.
