WOOT!!! Congratulations buddy, that's great news and the progress we like to see. Give my best to your wife. I think you should plan a celebration for the day this is all behind the both of you. That will give you something to look forward to and just maybe will keep you both from "killing" each other, lol! Good luck!

Thanks, Greg, I appreciate it. Haven't been posting much between working and home issues, but I'm thinking of you guys. Hopefully we'll get some good news this week and things will slow down a bit. Take care all!

Sending all best wishes to your wife for her appointment, Mike, I hope her cardiologist will be able to help and that she will soon be feeling a lot better.
It`s amazing the difference that a strong and loving relationship can make, along with a positive attitude, and I wish you both good health and happiness.
You certainly deserve it!

Thanks CG! I honestly feel pretty good - I'm just amazed that these DAA's work so quickly and effectively. My wife goes back to see her cardiologist Tuesday and I'm hoping he prescribes something to get her on the road to recoveryrecovery too. We both have had one heck of a year. How we haven't killed each other yet is a miracle! Honestly, we both kind of shake or heads and laugh about our situation more than anything else. She's one strong girl.

Hi Mike, congrats on your continuing undetected result, that`s excellent news!!
Your lab work all looks good and your liver enzymes, ALT and AST, have dropped again since your last results at 4 weeks which is just what we like to see!
The effect of the ribavirin is showing in your Hgb and RBC levels, which are a little on the low side, but nothing to worry about.
Glad you`re coping with the inevitable tiredness and muscle aches, and I`m sure knowing how well you`re responding to the treatment must be helping a lot!
Very nice, it`s all looking good!

Hi all, just got my 8-week labs back from 6/8/15 (apologies for formatting, on mobile). Still undetected! Still feeling a little tired and dealing with various muscle aches, but nothing too tough to handle. I'd welcome any input as to how things are looking. A little over 1/3 complete...
