1a NOW clear 9 months after TX

[MikeBoston]

Just a word of encouragement to those doing or contemplating TX.

I am clear 9 months after TX.  My liver enzymes are perfectly normal.  Not only that, but they are right in the middle of the normal range.

I was a 1a with a viral load that had been as high at 1.9 million.  My ALT was 400 when I was diagnosed.  I think I had the virus for about 8 years before starting TX.

I am a 40 year old man and I did the pegysus once a week with 1200mg riboviron every day.  I never missed a dose and sometimes I'd move my shot day up one day.

If you are an alcoholic and you slip during you're TX don't give up.  I admit to drinking during the last 7 months of my TX although I stayed perfectly sober for the first 4 months.  I'm sober now....and clear.

Mike:  It's good to hear from you. It's even better to hear your news.  I am a 1a myself and am always encouraged to hear news of success.  If it can work on 1a's....... it can work on any genotype.  

Thanks for writing.  I often wonder what happens to people after they leave.  I'm glad that it worked out so well for you.

Best,
willy
