Testing Results
Having had blood tests taken a few weeks ago, I then tucked the matter to the back of my mind as I knew the results of the PCR would take at least two weeks to come back to my surgery. And then I forgot all about it till recently. This morning I called my surgery for the results.
The PCR was diagnosed as “normal, no action required” – so no HepC virus. Good news.
My LFT results were all within normal ranges. I have traditionally tracked ALT which measures the inflammation of the liver. Normal range is up to 24 and mine is 17. So, my liver is not inflamed and is functioning normally. This is consistent with previous test results over the past few years. So good news there too.

Cool,
great news. Got mine end Sep – complete with full medical, but I’m doing well so I’m expecting nothing but good news, still (negative thoughts)- it lurks in the back of your mind doesn’t it ?

Thanks for the blog. I start treatment tomorrow and am soooo scared!! I am single and the only income in my home, so I have to work through this. I hope and pray I can do it.

Hi Christine
Thanks for your email. I hope the blog is of some help.
None of this is easy – but neither are the alternatives to treatment.
Facile as it may sound I can only say “Keep strong and keep believing that you can do the treatment and achieve virus-free”
Wishing you well
Ron
