I know 3 weeks past EOT isn't a lot of time. If my advanced math is correct +12 is still 9 weeks away. (see what I did there?) I was undetectable at 4 weeks, no VL test since then, and no VL test planned by GI until EOT +12. I've had a few full metabolic tests since week 4 and they've shown normal liver functi...

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum after conducting some research online. I finished Harvoni on September 28, 2015 and was told by my GI that I was undetectable. I had a CT scan for previous colon cancer, which everything on the scan came back ok. However, the blood work showed the following for m...

I'm SVR, 16 months past EOT on Sovaldi/Olysio. My short term memory is horrible. It was bad immediately following treatment, then seemed to get a little better. The past 2 months have been awful..... What are other people experiencing? Sometimes lately I worry that this may be the onset of Alzhei...

Hi all, I was EOT on 9/27. Had no blood work scheduled, so I called my Dr's office to see when they had my eot+4 scheduled. They didn't, and told me I didn't need it because I've been undetected all the way through. Long story short, I had to pull up the aalsd guidelines and read from table 6 that the tes...
