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.
in 2007 i went thru hep C treatment - ribavirin and pegasus... responded well up to and including the end of treatment. 6 months later, it had returned.
in april of 2012 i started triple TX and responded immediately and i just got my 6 month post treatment follow up results! UNDETECTABLE!!
Yippee, yes it can work. (not sure what I would have done if it had returned this time) but thank god i don't have to figure that out...
thank you all for your moral support and stick to it!! as nasty as it can be it can be worth it!!

Foot Note...The HC Virus didn't returned. It never went away. In 2007 the test only showed to 45 IU/ml. If the virus stayed under that number it was Undetected. Now i am almost positive you only did a six months fallow up test. The virus could have been already in numbers just a month or two later. generally it shows its fang the latest 3 months ofter the SOC. Today test is goes down to 5 IU/ml. A way more accurate.
Congrats!
