Week 36 Labs - Still UND

UND @ 4, 12, 24 and now 36. Interferon and 600 mg Riba since week 8; treated with Incivek.

ALT/AST - 31/26
HGB - 12.5
Plt - 113
ANC/WBC - 1.2/2.3

The incivek was tough, but it is over and it worked (so far).  Worth the sx if you can make it.  I did get used to ice cream every night at 10 and that habit is hard to break.

I am managing for the most part well.  If I stay busy, it helps my attitude.  The Hgb and Riba level have made the difference I believe.  I treated in 2006 with Interferon and Riba @1200 and was on procrit.

All the success indicators are there and am counting off the duration.  11 shots and 12 weeks of pills.

Thanks for the support.

Yes, still at 600; we talk about this at each appointment.  He strongly beleives the literature supports reduced riba after und at 4 weeks will not reduce SVR.  It has allowed me to function.

I am glad that I treated before, but it would have been nice to do 24 one time instead of 26 and 48.

Hope all is well with you.

Congrats, ski

I can't believe you are still on 600mg riba with hgb of 12.5!   Last time you were a partial responder -- so you never cleared?  That makes this treatment all the better.  These PI's are amazing.
