Excellent result, Bill!
It's a confusing way of reporting it and I remember it from last time. The main thing is that you're still undetected!

Hi all
6 week blood EOT result
This is that same response that Labcore had me crazy for the 1st EOT PCR test says Canceled not undetected
I have been assured This means Undetected
The reason it's canceled is They couldn't find a readable number or value greater than 2 IU/ml ? whatever that really means
Some test say can't read less than 5 copies All and All UND @ 6 weeks Post Harvoni
I am Actually 9 week EOT it took 3 weeks to get this in my hand. in 3 weeks i'll draw the 12 week mark and another countdown begins.

Hi Perry,
Were your ears burning? I was just thinking and talking about you. Of course it was about your ability to run through just about any adversity or physical ailment. You're a machine, mate! I remain impressed and wondering about your super human strength. if you could can it and sell it, you'd be rich, lol! Good luck on your tests...

Hi all - just a quick update - went in and had my 12 week blood tests last Friday so now its just a wait till results ( about 2 weeks). To celebrate I went and did another marathon ( 2nd since finishing treatment) and survived in a time of 3 hrs and 46 mins which uis a pretty good time for me for the 26 miles. Have noticed the recovery and leg soreness does take a bit longer at the moment but I did do a nice easy 13 miler the next day to help the body. Will be doing a 48 hour run around our local car racing circuit in 3 weeks as a fundraiser and hope to get in 200 miles in that time. There is still a bit more recovery for the body from the treatment but getting there reasonably quickly. Enjoying life and not thinking about results ( most of the time!!!) Take care all.

Good to hear from you Perry! The training and running sounds like it's continuing to come easy for you, how you've done it without a hitch, just impresses me to no end. I couldn't run 26 miles in 3 days, let alone 3 hours! Well done buddy, keep it up!
Cinnamon Girl said

Hi Perry, good to hear from you, sounds like you`re making an excellent recovery!
Great to hear you`re doing so well, I`d be very happy if I had that kind of energy, and I`m not surprised you have such a good appetite!
Thanks for the update, keep on running..and best of luck!

Hi all - hope are well or handling what life tends to throw at us at times. 8 weeks after treatment ( and 4 weeks till EOT blood test !!!) and recovery is going reasonably well - just did my first marathon ( 42 kms / 26 miles) and had a pretty good run - 3 hrs 37 mins so pretty happy where its all at and still throwing out 110 + miles per week. The one thing I,ve noticed is that my appetite has gone pretty crazy of late ( cant seem to get enough food at times). Lucky I,m running most of it off at the moment. Keep looking after yourselves all.
Tig said

Hi Perry,
Thanks for the update! You're recovering quite quickly from your run through hell. How you were able to maintain that kind of training during treatment, let alone after it, is amazing! I can honestly say, you have run farther in the last month than I have run in the last 10 years. Keep it up and enjoy that new found energy. Good luck!

Hi all - just a quick update as to how things are going. Now almost 5 weeks since ending tx and I can really see the body starting to bounce back. Running has increased to just over 200 kms this week - last week dis 31 km on Sat, 35 km on Sund, and 36 km on Monday. Energy levels have increased, am able to keep pace for a lot longer, even managed to shift house last weekend without to much stress. Yes getting back to life and loving it. take care all.

Well Done Perry!
Your story is truly an inspiration and it's so good to see your great news! I definitely notice my body recovering more quickly (post successful tx) after intense exercise also. You have many good miles ahead of you.
See you at the finish line!

Hey Perry,

Onward to SVR with a few worn out pairs of running shoes in the interim.

May 16, 2015
Thanks all. Just wanted today that I did a 20 miler this morn and felt the energy returning - best I,d felt for 6 months and the 32 km was 5 mins quicker than last Sat s 30 km. Went out to harriers this arvo for cross country - last week I walked a lap but after walking a lap this week and itching to run I ended up running another lap . On the mend already and its only upwards from here. And yes Tig am keeping that 1 foot in front of the other.

Very well done, Perry, great to see you`ve reached the finishing line!
Big congrats on your EOT undetected result, and I`m glad your nurse agreed to do the next viral load test at 12 weeks.
All the best to you with your recovery and thanks for sharing your tx journey with us, you`ve been a real trooper!
Good to see you in Post Treatment at last, now onwards to SVR12!!

Well done Perry! WOOT! It has been a joy to follow your course of treatment. You're an inspiration to us all. I hope that as your liver heals and your health improves, your body will begin to process the iron stores more efficiently. Let's hope for continued good news in all areas. Keep it moving forward my friend, one foot in front of the other has worked for you the whole way. No reason to mess with success! Good luck buddy!

EOT vl result just in - UNDETECTED. ALT - 20, AST - 32. HB was down to 98 which may explain why the first week I felt a bit worse - getting better now though. Iron levels are still high so waiting to see what Dr wants to do about these. Have talked the nurse into okaying next VL at 12 weeks. Now just to get back on with life - have a lot of running still to do!!!!

Most Hepatologists across the Tasman now accept SVR 12. NZ may be a bit behind (but not in the ANZAC Test!). I'd push for a 12 week test. Good luck mate.

Hi all. Thought I had better start a new thread. Question - I know when I get results for last bloods that they will likely say they will do next VL at 24 weeks. So is the newer protocols say 12 weeks? Just want to prob push for an earlier Vl rather than wait that long - 24 weeks on treatment was hard enuf waiting to the end!!!!!!
