Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / November 2004Partial blood test results
Got a letter from my VA primary care with all my lab results, except the pending pcr. Only two tests were abnormal: AST - 79 ALT - 157 I've got an appt with her this coming Monday to discuss the numbers. Needless to say, I'm worried about the pcr. Elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum Sorry to hear that Elmo. My 12 week pcr was the same way...I waited 14 days and called to get the results and they didn't have a clue until 3 days later. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving :) Mark > Got a letter from my VA primary care with all my lab results, except the > pending pcr.

I think I can understand how you're feeling now. There are people who do achieve SVR but still have elevated ALT values. jeeb It ain't over till the fat lady sings! I'm praying for you Elmo. I just called my doc and my results still aren't in. Damn it! hc > Got a letter from my VA primary care with all my lab results, except the > pending pcr.

I've been a bit worried about my 6 month PCR too. I just haven't been feeling as good as I did for a couple of months this summer once the chemo cleared my system. The all too familiar periods of unexplained nausea and generally just "not feeling right" that I experienced before treatment have come back in the last two months. Also some strange muscle cramps that I can't explain. But not to be too negative I'll hold my breath for another week. If I was a betting man I would pass on this bet. All I can do is hope and pray for myself and the rest of you to make it.

Juanita Thanks for the encouragement, everbody. Like you said, Russ, 'it aint over til it's over' and I hope you get yours too. Am having Thanksgiving with some long time family friends across town. My folks will be there too. I'm baking one of my world famous blackberry pies, mom is making the usual pumpkin and pecan pies. I bought a set of turkey tits and a snow shovel at Walmart today. I'm going to cook up the turkey after Thanksgiving and shovel snow tomorrow. Winter sucks!!

I hope to God your PCR is OK. Are you on any meds that might raise your LFTs? At any rate, whatever the results, you will have more than likely regressed your fibrosis. Fingers crossed, Lana Elmo, sounds like mine on week 10, after dropping to below normal they came back up, sorry to hear that and the best of luck on the pcr, I know it takes a lot of courage to face this but you seem to have the right attitude, HUMOROUS!!! bc > Got a letter from my VA primary care with all my lab results, except the > pending pcr.
