Living in a small town and my doctor is in the capital, requires that I travel for consultations and bloodwork. The time between appointments builds up a sense of anticipation for me. For instance, we underwent a PCR test for viral load with a sensitivity of <12 IU/ml. Although the results were lower, I haven't discussed them with my doctor yet due to the lengthy 5-week processing time. My next appointment is scheduled for the end of January. By then, if there hasn't been spontaneous clearing, the infection is chronic. ​ Considering this, what is the most definitive test they conduct to co ..read more

Hi All, I was diagnosed with Hep C about a year ago and declared cured as of this past May after a course of Epclusa. I had been infected not long before the discovery (as they didn't find antibodies right away when I first became sick) and the infection made me extremely ill (hospitalized) despite it being an acute infection - which I guess is very uncommon according to my doctor (if anyone else has had that happen, please share). Anyway, fortunately, my liver is only mildly scarred from the experience according to my hepatologist - nothing to be concerned about. However, it has caused a big ..read more

I'm trying to get some general info from anyone who has recently been through the treatment in Calgary. I was diagnosed at the end of Dec. with a viral load of over 5 million. I guess I have had it for a long time, probably 30 or 40 years, but I have no symptoms and no permanent liver damage. Just mild NAFLD disease and slightly elevated AST/ALT enzymes count. I've quit all alcohol since and improved my diet since. I'm on the waiting list for the Hepology Clinic at the U of C and have been told that it might be up to a year before I get in. Maybe less, maybe more I'd like to hear from someone ..read more

Hey guys! I got diagnosed with hep C earlier this year in like May. I had had a positive test on routine screenings and my PCP referred me to a GI specialist, who had me do some more blood work and an ultrasound. He said I definitely have it but it seems like my liver is still fine. He prescribed Epclusa. I switched jobs over the summer so had to wait a couple months to get insurance before I could fill that. Between that wait and regular insurance red tape it took until November for me to get the meds. So far so good, I'm starting the second month tomorrow. But I got a letter from my GI doct ..read more
