Good news!!! (and maybe even better news)

Doc visit today.  Yes, DH was "virus undetectable" at 8 weeks.  He will get his 12 week blood test this Friday.  They have to re-visit the 4-week blood test because apparently the lab reported it as "less than 43" instead of truly undetectable.  IF DH is "virus undetectable" at 12 weeks AND they can clarify that the 4-week test was truly "undetectable," DH will be able to stop treatment at 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is the best news ever! He takes his last Incivek this Saturday, then continues on Interferon & Ribivarin - MB only for 2 more months! 

Doc said DH is "remarkable."  He is handling the treatment quite well, lots of complaining at home to the contrary.  He was athletic and strong when all this started.  I think it's helped him.

Praise the Lord!
