I'm sorry to hear his treatment failed. We've had a few people experience the same disappointment recently, but like your husband they're accepting of that fact and getting prepared for the new treatments. Sounds like he's doing his best to keep occupied and stay positive. Give him our best and I hope you keep us updated on his condition and yours. He's very fortunate to have you on his side!

Just popped in and saw this.

I am sending you positive energy.

My husband is just now starting to shake off a failed treatment. He is back to running --his form off meditation and fishing.

This is a mental game also take the love and support given to you. We find it all over when looking especially here.

ouch and ouch that hurts as you can see there are others here got the same news once or twice I feel that pain just thinking about you getting that news .  when i relapsed i was told the same thing your liver gets a break I still was very depressed

I didn't know about the 20% regeneration and adding years  I like that  You will feel better without the drugs     Keep a healthy diet much as you can  Time does go quicker when your not counting pills visits and lab results and weeks  Please stay with us we'll always try to keep your spirits up and your experience and encouragement will be a big help to all of us  Soon we'll be cheering you on again with easier & better treatment  My thoughts and prayers are with you Your family's behind you you will beat this

Keep your head up Steve.  You may have lost this battle but you are going to win the war against this worm.  Remember how bad you felt when Jim who started with you had the same experience?  Now he's gone on to lead the way in what will hopefully be the answer for the non-responders.  Take some time, if need be, to bottom out in some self pity, so you can rise again stronger and ready to fight on.  You still have your friends, family, and most of your health.  You are loved and feel love which is what living is all about.

Steve and Eileen,

I'm am very upset to hear this. You both put your heart and soul into this tx and did everything possible for it to be successful. Steve, you hung tough for 48 weeks, no matter what. You are one tough person. I know you both must feel exhausted and very dissapointed but please remember that you did everything humanly possible to make this work.

There must be another plan waiting down the road. I believe this for all of us. Please get some rest and recover some. You deserve it. Both of you. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers every day. I will stay in touch. We are not done. God bless you both.

Jim

Heartbreaking... My doctor told me the same after my first failed treatment. He said by doing treatment I added myself an extra 10 years, because the liver had a chance to recover and not being damaged by the virus for 11 months. As you know, liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself. However, with cirrhosis, the complete regeneration is impossible due to the formed scar tissue, yet the liver got a break from being bombarded by the virus and most likely regenerated 20% or so with new liver cells.

Steve, what a kick in the guts! I'm very sorry to hear your news. As cirrhotics our chances of SVR are reduced but it must be a big shock after 48 weeks of trying. Take a break and get advice about the next step. Thinking of you both-

Sorry to hear the bad news Steve.  Stay positive.  You gave your liver a great break from the virus.  Now you just need to sit tight a little while longer until the "easy" drugs get FDA approval.

All the Best,  Dave

The viral load was significantly reduced (below decectable) for the duration of tx which is to say at least they were not replicating within the livercells for a period. "a rest from the attack" so to speak.

 

Sorry to hear the news Steve, going on is all one can do. Best of luck for the future X

Margo- we were responding at the same time, sorry for the repeat.

I`m really sorry to hear this, what a shock. cry The two of you must be reeling after going through such a long stretch on tx and I expect it will take a while for this to sink in, but it`s really good to hear that Steve is thinking positive about this.  All is not lost though and at least his liver will have had a chance to start healing all the time he was Und.  He`s been a real trooper for the last 48 wks, you both have, please send him love and all best wishes for the future...his day will come, I`m sure.

Take good care of each other, and please do keep in touch...hugs to you both, Jill xxx

So sorry to hear this...Glad to read that your husbands thoughts are positive and all functions are working.  More positive news-there are many new trials in the pipeline-some with great results. I am also sitting on the sideline waiting...

 Big hug to you and Steven...

Wow, what a shock. But what we know about Hep-C and how to treat it is still in the beginning stages. Going on is what it is all about. As a past non-responder I know my chances of a 100% outcome is low. Fortunately you and Steve have figured out that there is much more in life beyond this. While what happened frightens me, I hope you know that your not alone.

I wonder if it would make any sense to get some grief therapy to deal with the brick wall you both just ran into?
