WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO Bill. been waiting for this GREAT news.  SVR!   Sorry I missed this yesterday, was out of town.  Congratulations

Oh Bill, big congratulations on your SVR12!!   I can`t believe I almost missed your post, hidden in Matt`s thread!  

I couldn`t be more pleased for you, you`ve finally done it and my goodness you deserve this!!  Woo hoo!!  

It`s wonderful to see both you and Matt clearing the SVR12 hurdle in the same week, we should have a party to celebrate!!

Thanks to all the support & well wishings brothers & sisters

A lot of the Hep-C friends are inspiring because of there perseverance in finding strength to do another treatment after relapsing multiple times, members like Bills, Malcolm, Tig, Jime, BiggyB and many many more, then the inspiring story of the members that had to endure 48 weeks of Interferon & Riba Like JoAnneh & 12 stepGuy, some of us have no idea what its like to be on treatment for 48 weeks, check this thread started by JoAnneh, she exemplifies the determination and grit that are truly inspiring.  http://hepcfriends.activeboard.com/t52520221/hanging-on/

BTW scroll to the start or bottom of the above thread/hyperlink.

WOW,

This part is as moving as getting the call and seeing the blood test result. All I am just looking at this and remembering all the people who came through here. Almost all of us scared, whats gonna happen. I'm afraid to tell anyone. Im ashamed. Will I live? Die?  I failed treatment. I made  SVR. This is where I got the courage, inspiration and strength to fight. When I was up you were there, When I failed you consoled me. We ranted and got all riled up when the medical system failed us.

But you guys are now giving me all the cheering. and I am very moved, I can't mention names because If i miss one I'll feel bad and there's too many to count. I' need to set aside looking jumping into the next quests to slay other dragons for awhile this one kicked my butt.

I will steal my best friends expression when she received SVR  ((It's Time to CARTWHEEL))  Woo Hoo  I just kept seeing her in my mind just rolling hands feet hands feet like down a street through a park passing cars on a beach. Wearing a tee shirt that had SVR on it. So here I go

Hey Bill!  Congratulations! That is fantastic news!!  I'm hoping to become a member of that prestigious SVR-12 group.  I took did bloodwork yesterday so I'll know next week.  Man am I keeping my fingers crossed for this!  Good news Bill!

Oh my GOSH!!!! How exciting! I can only imagine (and soon hope to know) how excited you must feel. Now you can get on with life without that hanging over your head! Letting your liver start to heal and regenerate! THIS is the BEST NEWS!!!!! YaHOOOOOOOO.....

Bill: Your SVR is well deserved. You are a true patriot. Your help and support to this forum is extroidinary.  Congratulations on your EOT+12!!!!!!!!!!!!    I was first inline at Lab Corp this morning at 5:30 am for my EOT+12.  Will post results. Feeling strong and wishing all to a bright future.

Bills,    that's is wonderful. You must be relieved and looking to your future. Each day is precious. Marsha

Hey Bill,

You're not going to escape the limelight Brother. CONGRATULATIONS = SVR 12  You definitely earned your stripes and awards for battle. A decades long fight to kill the beast has finally come to fruition. I have watched as you struggled through treatment, relapse and now success. You handled yourself like a true warrior, accepted your wins and losses with honor and rarely let the cloudy days get you down. I tip my hat to you sir, you've earned my respect and the shared joy of everyone here. Good job buddy! (You really need to post your own notice, you have a lot of fans out there!)

The last thing I can offer is one big galactic:

Wonderful! Congratulations, Matt. I'm so happy for you. 

YAAAHHHOOO!!!!!!   Bills

You had me worried for a few days because its been two week since your lab work, but I think you mentioned its takes way to long for your labs to come back.

Anyway welcome to the SVR-12 YES! group, you more than earned it. I can just hear the sound of hundreds of other long time 40 plus years carriers of HCV collectively screaming for joy as they receive there email, phone calls and texts that info inform them that they reached SVR-12 and that they no longer have chronic HCV.

Buddy it may have taken us 40 plus years but we made it, and it feels like we scored a home run in the world series and scored the winning touchdown in the superbowl.

Now its onward to SVR-24

LOL you did catch me I did slip that in intending to make it hard to see. I am very grateful to this forum I found the inspiration to kill the Dragon with all of your support here. It was a very long a exhausting battle. You guys got me through it. maybe I will start some thread for all the All the SVRs to have a party. My whells are spinning

 Wait a minute. Did I miss another thread announcing this?  Don't think you are going to get away with slipping such a big announcement under the radar into this existing thread without getting caught. LOL

That is FANTASTIC NEWS Bill. I am so happy for you. You have worked long and hard for this and I know you are overjoyed to the hilt. Speechless or not, you'd better start a big SVR-12 Party thread so everyone knows and we'll all have a big party.

Congratulations Bill. You so deserve this!!!

Matt

I'm so happy for you, you must have looked at those results dozen's of times in disbelief and excitement.    I  DiD TOO  i got my call early this week as well  SVR 12. I'm pretty speechless. It feels weird to not be counting days anymore. We both had some battle here and finally came out the other end. Hope your making plans for living life to he fullest. I should be celebrating day and night  but it just so happens my Son gets married next weekend and I'm deep involved with a lots of this planing and stuff. So happy SVR

I would say I'll drink to that , and I would if my liver wasn't shot LOL.

So happy for you! It truly is a blessing. God Bless!

Great Job Matt just got back on after holiday WAY TO SLAY  A

Hey Robert

Thanks for yours thoughts, dealing with a relapse is a tough road, as you know but the friends here can help and have helped.

How about your next treatment is "Harvoni" in your future? Possible a new trial? Whatever your considering we are here to help.

matt

Hi Matt, In late 2013 I had just started looking into treatment and was lucky enough to get into a trial. I had just found this forum and saturated my head with info off ths forum. I can remember your story and how you relapsed, And thinking to myself how hard and terrable the news must have been when you were told you had relapsed.And it hurt me to have a brother going through that. You persevered and look at you now!!   I'm so happy for you, knowing that all of us will some day get the SVR news. Well done my forum friend.  RC 

Outstanding!  SVR-24 here you come.

Congrats Matt. Be free  

Peace

Matt,  congratulations!   So happy to see another dragon go up in flames!   You've had a long journey getting here, so it's truly a blessing for you to finally be free.   Enjoy your hep c free life! 

Matt - that is just the best news and I'm so happy for you!!!   You are a dragon slayer and a free man!  What a blessing you've been given.

Hey All

I am elated ,in high spirits and over the top delighted to report I received my 12 weeks EOT PCR results today / Labor Day via email that read

8-31-2015 Hep-C PCR result  NOT DETECTED

Thats means I have reached SVR-12    YAAAAHHHHOOOO!!!!!!

SVR is an abbreviation or acronym for "Sustained Virologic Response", I always thought it could be change to "Sustained Viral Rejection" 

Many, many thanks to all of you forum members for the loving support during the last 3 + years. You are one the the most supportive groups I have ever been privileged to be associated with, may God bless all of your efforts to help others and yourself.

Without this support group I know I would have crawled into a dark hole and never come out, but because of the forum and all the caring friends this didn't happen and doesn't have to happen to anyone else that joins and reaches out for help and understanding.  

Now its onward to SVR-24
