[techcherry]

hi
I gvot my result from 12 weeks pcr and were a bit dissapointing , I started with 560.000 and now i am in 116.000 with the liver values still around the 100 , my doctor said on the 6 months pcr if the virus is still detectable we should stop the treatment , is this normally the procedurte, how propable it is to be clear?
by the way I am in combination therapy =ribav. 1200/day plus pegint.180 once a week...

the thing here is I am now going to the 5 1/2 motnh tx , but the dr is saying if the next pcr (* I will do it beggining of may ) to receive results by end of may , if results are not good , to me to stop, I wonder If is not based in a financial decision, because here in the uk we get it for free ...but I can see maybe I have to fight him a bit!!

I will find the info for you. A 2log drop is an indicator that you are responding to the treatment, at least that's what I've been told. There are others here much more knowledgeable on the subject. I am relatively new here but have learned so much in a short amount of time. My pcr is 4 mil so at the 12wk mark I'm hoping for at least a 2log drop.

sorry I am not good with pounds , I weight 103 kg. and taking 1200mg per day...

For each log drop move the decimal 1 place to the left. Starting vl 1,000,000 and a 1 log drop would make it 100,000 - a 2 log drop 10,000 and so on. Mike
