Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 , I was g-type 2b, slated for 26 weeks. I was undetectable at 8 weeks (maybe less, that was my first treatment blood draw), and my first question was "Is my time reduced?" . Well, sad to say it wasn't, they still needed me to complete the full regimen. Just because it's not detectable doesn't mean it's completely gone. The only way medical science agrees it's gone is if you finish the regimen, then go 6 months without medication and it's still undetectable. However, the bright side is genotype 2 has over an 80% success rate with 26 weeks treatment. So tell her to hang in there, but if her doctor advises her to finish the full regimen please do if at all possible. Trust me, being able to say you're CURED is worth the effort! SteveLife is much more fun when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. Jimmy Buffett [ ] Question about SOC Hi,I have a friend who is on treatment, genotype 2. She was SVR after one month.Does anyone know if her treatment time would be reduced? (From 6 months)Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
