Sooo sorry Dragonars. I don't know what your options are, but someone here will. Glad you still feel good. I have decided that if I relapse (finishing 48 weeks of tx on Monday!!!) I will wait till I retire to try anything else...that's about 5 years. Hopefully I will have that option to wait. Best of luck to you...will be praying for you.

I'm with Molly I also would wait if I relapse. Sorry that sucks.. but keep feeling good that is what is important!

so sorry my friend..yea they say it helps u're liver even if u don't clear...trying doing 48 then don't clear as myself..what were pre. tx,viral load..mine was 2.8 mil,,now over 9 mil....newer tx.s coming out hang in there brother.......

Dragon, that news really sucks!! I finally realized that all you people coming into the 6 months check-ups ALL did the OLD SOC tx, and that only has a 50% success rate..... Not quite as depressing when looking at it from that view. Unless, of course, you happen to BE one of the unlucky 50%!! Keep your chin up, and when you're ready, the new txs all have MUCH higher SVR rates!!! Hangeth thou in there!!!

So sorry dragonars. Love and prayers coming your way. Keep your chin up. I'm still in this battle myself. My viral load is over 20million, so hang in there. The new stuff will be out before we know it.

That's really awful news. Many of us have heard the same message in our own dragon-battles and it feels like a knee in the... well it feels bad. But there's lots of hope. I'm clear now after doing Round 2 with the dragon and many others are too. Hang in there and keep the faith!

awwwww so sorry to hear this. you'll be in my thoughts and prayers, but you did give your liver a little reprieve.

so now you can do one of the new treatments?

I'm so very sorry Dragonars that the dreaded word relapse is yours. What a kick in the pants. I am glad, however, that you feel pretty damn good. Keep that positive force going.

Damn Dragonars! I am so hoping for the new stuff to come out yesterday and not two years from now. Glad you feel well. I remember someone writing that they still felt better even though they relapsed. So sorry, keep up with the complimentary meds. I hear more and more they do wonders!

thats a common story dragon, and its always sucky news. plenty of specialized treatments coming in the near future..

Sorry to hear your news, Dragon. I'm due for my 6 mo. in Dec. I'm so scared of getting the same news as you.I know what you're talking about...all the new meds are for geno 1. Hopefully, they'll start finding something for those of us who are 2b

So sorry, I know how you feel. I also relapsed after 48 weeks of tx. I felt bad but ater two weeks I perked up. I feel good. I am waiting for the pill that cures it in one day,lol.

Sorry to hear that dragon. Hang in there!!
This Pharmasett drug PSI-938 and PSI-7977 works 100% so far on geno 2-3. It is on a fast track by the FDA....

Treatment with drugs developed by Pharmasset resulted in 15 of 16, or 94%, of patients reporting undetectable levels of the hepatitis C virus after 14 days, according to interim results from a study released Monday.
These early data on the two Pharmasset drugs -- PSI-938 and PSI-7977 are the best reported to date by any company seeking to develop a new, all-oral therapy for hepatitis C. This Pharmasset effort is drawing even more attention because it potentially eliminates the need for patients to be treated with long-acting interferon, one of two drugs currently used to treat hepatitis C but which is difficult for patients to tolerate and causes many side effects.
