Week 23

I wish I had genotype 3 instead of 1 because I'd be almost at the end of my tx.
But Im not as lucky as those with number 3, so I will have to be patient for another 25 weeks.
Have no choice really....
I went to see my nurse on Friday, she was supposed to give me a bag full of Interferons and Ribas, but instead she gave me nothing and asked me to come back in two weeks time.
Im not sure if I mentioned here that I wasn't undetectable at week 4 and week 12, which makes me a slow responder. At week 12 my viral load dropped from 250.000 to less than 615, so my doctor was happy to carry on with my tx. And I was pleased with myself too because I achieved a significant drop anyway.
I went for a blood test on Friday and I think my doctor wants to know if Im undetectable this time before he gives me my next supply of medication.
What's gonna happen to me if it's not undetectable? Will it mean that Im a non-responder? Will it mean that I'll finish my tx next week? I've only got one more enjection to do next Thursday ( there's only one Interferon left in the fridge)
Deep down Im quite excited, can't wait to lead a drug free life again LOL thick of taking Ribas every day and watching what I eat and drink.
The thought of new HepC drugs being tested on people right now as I write helps me stay optimistic. Im sure I will have another chance to get rid of the virus in the near future.
Let's see what happens in two weeks time when I see my nurse again. Will they stop my tx or not? :-)
To be or not to be, this is the question :-)))))

I hope you are undetactable now, sweetheart. You don't want to go through new treatment since you've gone through one. Give it as much effort as you can.
Love you
Tea

I hope you're undetectable, too. You already made the committment to do this NOW, they shouldn't make you stop. 615 is such a tiny number out of 250,000, why won't they leave? I've got my fingers crossed for you.
