14 weeks post treatment and still undetectable

I have some good news, I continue to be virus undetectable.

Last week I arranged to have a PCR blood test done to see whether I was still clear of the virus. It was 14 weeks since I finished treatment so perhaps a little too soon to be the accepted SVR that we all seek, even so the drugs that killed the virus will be well and truly gone from my system and if the virus was going to make a return I think it probably would have done by now. I have my 6 month test scheduled for 2nd December which is the accepted point to confirm an SVR.

I am doing really well, there is a lot of stress at work at the moment though far less than being on treatment - I kind of feel having dealt with that, that anything else is trivial by comparision. Last week there were several people who commented on how well I looked, one even spontaniously said "your treatment has really worked, hasn't it".

I have to admit I wasn't overly concerned about the test as I was pretty certain of the outcome as I feel so well within myself.

Having said thatiIt may help others to hear that over the last couple of weeks I have had occassional pains in the liver area, though I recognised these to be different from the pains I used to get from an overworked virus ridden liver. I put these down to the liver being in repair mode, a bit like the way that scars itch.
