Way to go Mike. What you went through is no easy task. Looks lke you cleared the bug early in your treatment, so you should be fine at 4 weeks eot. RC

Glad you stopped in to share your progress Mike. I wish you and your wife well for tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! Matt, as Tom Petty said, "the waiting is the hardest part." I was fortunate to begin this journey in good physical shape and I really believe I handled TX pretty well because of it. Now I have to get my "skinny-fat" butt back on the road and into the gym, which is going to hurt a LOT. Tig, you're right about great minds - I was going to message you but decided to post my EOT instead lol. Jill, I've been able to work such long hours because I spend most days working on ROBOTS. They handle the "Riba Rage" MUCH better than people. A lot of wrenches have bounced off robot heads these last six months! Greg, the only negative I can find about tomorrow is that I can't rub it in because I'm next Penny, every time I see your avatar I want to jump in one of those kayaks and GO! Hopefully I'll feel up to it again in the near future. William, you hit the nail on the head - I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and not have to take meds. Thanks again all to all of you, Mike

Good to hear from you, Mike! Great to hear you`ve reached the end of your 24 wks, well done!
We`ve missed you here, but the fact that you were able to work such long hours while on this treatment combo is wonderful, even though I`m sure it can`t always have been easy!
Very best of luck to you and to your wife as well, we`ll look forward to hearing more good news from you!

Hi Mike,
I'm so glad you checked in! I was about to send you a note to see how you've been coming along. Great minds think alike, lol!
So happy to hear you've reached the end of treatment. I know it can be an exhausting journey, regardless of protocol, but you did it. It has been our pleasure to have you here, you've been a friend to many going through the journey with you.
I look forward to your test results and your continued friendship with all here. I wish you and your wife good fortune and luck tomorrow. I know you are both looking forward to the good health you are working so hard to achieve. I have a good feeling that you will both reach your goal...

Mike,
Another milestone achieved! Congrats on making it to the end of tx! And like Mike said, if you've been undetected all through treatment, the odds are beautifully high that you'll continue to be so. Best of health to you...and to your wife. The prep is 10 times worse than the procedure - hope all is good.

Hi all, I'm finishing up 24 weeks of sov/riba today. Been undetected all the way through TX and I've gotta go get my EOT labs drawn tomorrow. I kind of dread the drive (I'm being treated at a clinic that's quite a distance from home). But my wife has a colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow morning, so I'd say I win Monday . Looking forward to seeing UND in the EOT+4 labs. I haven't been on the forum that much lately due long hours working, but I've been lurking at every chance. Just want to let you all know how helpful and encouraging this forum has been for me. I honestly don't know if I'd have made it through without your kindness and unwavering support. Good or bad, I'll pass along the EOT+4 results as soon as I get them. God bless you all, Mike
