My treatment has started in August 2009. I had a form 3 of Hepatitis C and, unfortunately, cirrhosis. The virus load was around 320,000. However, after 4 weeks it became only 600.00; after week 12 it was undetectable. It has been continually undetectable every 2 month whenever I passed the lab tests including the recent one in September 2010. Nevertheless, doctor has extended the term of Pegasis therapy as he briefly said to prevent possible multiplying of virus.
My husband is in week 5 of treatment. He wants to take Milk Thistle with his Pegasis/Riba. Do any of you know if it is alright to take them with your treatment. And thank you in advance for everyone's help.
Unfortunately, I had had cirrhosis already and doctor said that a likelihood to be cured against Hep C was 40 to 60%. However, I was a good responder to Pegasis and Ribovirin, so even though I started with 320 K virus load, I'd only 600 viruses by the week for. From the week 12 to now I'm clean. Doctors extended my treatment to 72 weeks. Thanks G-d I was not suffering to much and still working. I'd the last injection at the end of December 2010.

Seems like a normal drop to me. Many have a 2 to 3 point drop in Hgb in the first few weeks. This can make you feel anemic even when techinically your arent.
Your hgb should begin to level out, but may drop further up till about week 4.
The decline the should be slow and gradual.
Whites still look ok and this is also normal. Peg doing its stuff. Whats your neuts?
This could bounce around a bit but also level out around weeks 4-6.
Hello,
I have not been here for long time, My husband had Hep C, geno3, the underwent 6month treatment by Pegasis + Riba, and he is cured -RNA UND, the doctor examined his liver one year after he finished the treatment and he was amazed that it has improved a lot. I am very happy
During the therapy he did not have much problems just feeling tired and sleepy, I was giving him mix of fruits like black plum, honey and almonds which helped him regain his energy and helped with blood counts too.
m on disability now for hep c and bipolar disorder. Am meeting with my doctor tomorrow and hope he will begin pegasis treatments.

I have hcv genotype 1. I am EVR as my viruses got negative after 12 weeks. I used pegasis and ribaverin for 48 weeks. But after three months my virus came back. Immediately I continued my cure after three months. I want to know howmany injections should I have from now? Since I have already had 48 injections, should I have 72 injections or only 24 are enough? Thanks a lot.
not sure there is much of a difference but i have heard pegasys has less side effects.
Hi all.......Hubby had his 1st shot of Pegasis yesterday.........For genotype 3 started treatment with Pegasis once a week and ribazole 400 mg thrice a day.......Yesterday was the worst day of my life........Just 5 hours after the inject he started having chills,high fever,severe back pain,trembling.......Took brufen but didn't ease the symptoms..........He couldn't sleep whole night and woke up this morning so late.............
for you? There are so many posts right now about depression and anti depressants--I wanted to bring up those of us who HAVE TO take them no matter what before, during and after treatment and what effects using riba/pegasis has had on our already "stable/unstable" minds/moods... I am now @ my 41 st week of treatment and have not had it pretty rough from the beginning --not only physcially but in later weeks emotionally....
My genotype is 1B and I have already developed esophageal varices. I have also tried Pegasis and was classified a non responder. My internist has given the results of my last gastro and my varices are grade 1 and I have Portal Hypertention Gastropathy. Whatever that means.
After one and half month he started the therapy of PEGASIS and Ribavirin dose. When 9 weeks completed he advised new PCR Quantitive test. Te result was good and hopeful and viral load was 8342 IU. My Dr. further advised me to go on with therapy until 20th week. Then I was tested my further PCR and result was shocked that viral load has increased 22452 IU. I disappointed this result but my Dr. encouraged me and advised to prolong the therapy up to 32nd week.
I will bestarting to my pegasis and ribravin in a week and I dont smoke cigarettes. Do a lot of you smoke cigarrettes and maybe this cough could be contributed to this cough?
And who does not smoke cigarettes? and how does this medicine effect you coughing etc.?
Hello Ladies and Gents,
Is there anyone on this forum that has undergone the treatment, interferon and pegasis, and are still free of the virus 5 and 10 years later? I would like to know the long term effects of this treatment and what are the percentages of it coming back.
Thank you,
Also....does anyone know how to raise platelets? What foods to eat? What to avoid?
Congratulations! 72 weeks is a long haul. I am glad you are feeling stronger. Wishing you SVR!
I have Hep C, geno type 1, went through 66 wks of Pegasis and interferon,, level went down to zero at wk 15 but levels came back after 6 wks of stopping treatment. I am thinking about getting involved with a research study with Boceprevir and Pegasis and interferon but am concerned that I may end up with the Palcebo. Any thoughts if I should just wait for the FDA approval or go ahead and do the research drugs?
