Undetected at 7!weeks!!!!!!
« on: April 24, 2015, 07:38:44 pm »
Just got my first labs back, they were drawn this week. I'm just starting my 8 th week of Harvoni.

HCV RNA Quantitative Real Time PCR
<15 not detected IU/ML

I feel so relieved !! Did not think it would hit me like this but Infeel like a huge weight has lifted off me,

I'm wishing the same success for the rest of you in treatment.

10 week labs back:
 
HCV RNA,            <15 NOT DETECTED         Range <15 = Normal   
QUANTITATIVE       IU/ml
REAL TIME PCR   

HCV RNA,            <1.18 NOT DETECTED         Range <1.18 =  Normal   
QUANTITATIVE       Log IU/mll
REAL TIME PCR   

I only have 9 more days left of my 12 week treatment !
Then Office visit at EOT for check up and labs. At the 12 week post Tx labs to determine SVR 12 and then Im told at 6 months and 1 year.

Im feeling better each day with overall more energy and much better appetite than Ive had in years.

Best of luck to everyone on this journey , i hope your experience is as easy and positive as mine has been!
