Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I finished 48 weeks triple tx with victrelis last Wed. the 12th. Had labs Thurs.
My NP called today with the news and said she wanted me to have the TMA part of test done tmrw. We agreed it was soon to have results back, but said I hadn't had the part that has to be sent to Quest. So I called the lab and they said they had done it and it was not in yet......of course I can't get ahold of her, the Dr. or their nurses now.
But I suppose since it was detectable, that's not good..
...I was detectable at 4 and 8 weeks and undetectable at 12 and 24......
thanks everybody for listening......peace and happiness.....Beth

I still am waiting for a return call from the Dr. or nurse re: lab results....
I know they're in, (VL and immunofixation tests) cause I called the lab @ 4:00 today.
So ready to just move on without the meds.......Peace, hope and
love........Beth
