Hi and thanks for this query.

A drop in bilirubin levels shows an improvement in your disease management. It is a positive sign and to me, you have reasons to be happy. There is nothing to worry about with better disease markers.

I encourage you to stick to the treatment plan as you must have noticed better results and improvement.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi and thanks for this follow up question.

We have no reasons to think we would not get there but we cannot also say with certainty that we would be there. Continue treatment as initiated and we would control in the months ahead to see where we stand and what conclusions we can draw at this time.

I wish you well.
