Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

I'll bet you are exactly where you should be! It may take a couple of weeks for the results. I'm sure you'll let us know when yo hear.
You're doing great!

I bounce back and forth with the good/tiredness feelings.

I can look back and see when I overdo it, then I am very tired.

Our bodies are taking in some powerful drugs here. (for the good)

Keep up the good work!

Will be looking forward to hearing your results as well. The sun is brutal & with these meds you really want to keep your exposed skin covered in sunscreen. Hope the remainder of tx is smooth sailing.

Yeah, do hope you get good news, Im so impressed you are handling those shots so well, I was really scared I was going to have to do that, then Sovaldi became available, and with 2b I didnt need anything else.

I to am anxious to see what your numbers are.

Saw my doc today and Im not unde yet, 30 days of tx and I have VL of 19, I was a little disappointed, I wanted unde.

Do you check your other numbers, My CBC went into anemeia and Doc cut the Reba to 1 pill a day. Im starting on Iron and B complex.

Looking forward to good news

I haven't had no blood work yet he wants to wait for one week but my other Doc I go to said he wanted me to come in every 2 weeks cause my blood count is down and he said he could give me a shot for that!

I would have preferred to stay on the full treatment but my NP said she finds once you drop as low as I did, VL 19, that half dose works just as well. lets hope so.
