Why did I feel so Guilty?

[cctex]

Hello everyone!  I met with my doctor today and got some good news.  My HEPTIMAX (R) HCV RNA was1.5 MILLION when I started treatment on July 15th.  I had blood work done last Friday, July 29th.  My HEPTIMAX (R) HCV RNA was 293.  

I posted about four weeks ago about feeling guilty for not having all of the scarey side effects many other people were having.  I'm still doing pretty well.  And now I have good news......and I am happy!!!  I wish the same for everyone in treatment.

I had a good story all typed out earlier, then I touched the BACKSPACE key to correct a boo-boo and ZAP! everything disappeared.  So here's the short version.  

Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way. Without this forum and you guys, I would not be this far along, or this excited about gettin WELL!!!

Yippee!  Liz

Hi...
I will be starting triple tx soon with incivek.  I am 1a & TT.  I treated previously but did not clear until week 16 and decided to stop treatment instead of treating for 72 weeks with a low svr rate - I am hoping that the new PI may give me a better chance. I was wondering if your doctors gave you any choices with the length of your treatment time.  Are you both treating for 48 weeks?
Thanks.  And Good Luck !  GingerPal

Great news! This is my second time treating, this time with Incevik. My viral load was over 2.5 million when I started 5 weeks ago, and they did the blood work 2 weeks in and it was 43<!!!!!! This drug is SO promising!  

Congrats to you cctex

Wonderful news!  Are you on triple therapy?  If so, Boceprevir (Victrelis) or Teleprevir (Incivek).  That is great two about no overwhelming sides.
