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.

Undetected

I have failed 57 weeks of ifn/riba based txs. Incivek was awful as well! 12 weeks of Harvoni & i was undetected after 18 days. It is now 6 weeks since end of tx. I remain undetected. O think I can put HCV behind me! Wow. Never thought my life would shake out this way. The dragon changed everything & killed my husband. I beat it! I have a new lease on life. I am getting remarried. Who would have thought. Life is beautiful

Just awesome! You have endured SO MUCH suffering because of that ugly virus. You know it's permanent - HCV is gone from your body and not coming back. You REALLY deserve this and now can move forward with LIVING - it's ALL ABOUT LIVING! :)

Congratulations!! A nurse just told me that any EOT tests are not reliable until 3 months after EOT. She said if you do it at one month EOT, it can still change. If it is undetected at 3 months,it will be undetected at 6 months and then we are considered cured.

I will be tested again in 6 more weeks. There isn't much into on these breakthrough meds but all signs are positive for SVR. I had an early & rapid response & remain undetected 6 weeks after end if treatment. Best news I could hope for & I'm betting ibam cured this time.

Been busy with wedding plans & had a lot of visitors these past weeks so I haven't posted much but I've been reading the good news so many are sharing. TH, I am so happy for you! CM, I thought I needed to change my avie when I delivered the death blow. lol. Thank you all for being here. I'm not sure how I could have endured this torture of failed txs & hep c losses without the help of my support groups. Still waiting for SVR but I now believe it is possible. Yes, I'm All About Living.
