Title: Virus came back after Harvoni
Post by: Brenda534 on April 18, 2019, 03:18:52 am
Pretty depressing. My treatment finished on March-8th, last test on Feb-8th showed that virus was undetected. I was tested on Monday and just found out that I have around 300,000 of them back in my blood. I will see a doctor and will talk what is next. Meantime maybe someone here knows what could be the options. I was taking harvoni for 16 weeks. I am getting crazy here waiting to talk to my doctor tomorrow, so maybe somone knows if there is any other hope or pretty much that is over for me...I have compnestated cirohsis as well.

There have been a few here who relapsed after treatment with Harvoni but treated again and were cured. I think they took Mavyret or one of the other newer treatments.

I treated three times with interferon based treatments in the past and was a null responder. Then when the new generation DAA’s were first being approved I treated with solvaldi and Olysio for 12 weeks but relapsed when tested at 12 weeks post.

In Nov 2014 I started 24 weeks of Harvoni and later added Ribavirin for the last 15 weeks of treatment. That one worked and I was finally cured on my fifth treatment. I also have cirrhosis diagnosed in Jan 2008.

Hang in there you can still be cured

Thank you so much for your response and giving me hope. It was so nice to be without virus. My brain fog that I thought it might related to my age  was totally gone. I am so much more productive at work. It will be really bad to go back to that brain fog again

I am so sorry. The retreatment data looks really good, but I know that this is not at all what you or any of us hoped for. Here for you if you have questions or just want to vent.
