Hi Steve,

Thanks, I thought sof/vel/viox was what you were referring too. I agree! Huge steps forward are being made in treatment

today, and in "rescue" treatment, with drugs like sof/vel/vox. Glad your ample harvoni worked superbly for you first time tho! C.

Congratulations, Steve.  Thanks for letting us know.  We're getting lots of good news these day and it is a delight to hear.  Good for you!  Enjoy the hep C free felling and your life as it should be!  

Now go out and play!

That is one of my consolations, that "if" the Harvoni failed, and odds I believe are 1 In 96 - are the Plan B's.

 LOL I feel like the second pea in a pod with that comment.  :)

I am extremely happy for you sis!

Yes Canuck that is the triple therapy I was talking about( sov/vel/GS9857).  It seems quite promising and I know for a fact it has cured people who have relapsed after Harvoni.   This is what I was going to do if I failed the Harvoni, luckily for me I cleared. 

CON - GRAT's Steve!! Glad you made it.

Liked your comment about how you would appear here (mostly) when you were freaked out! I too, am very glad the forum is here.

I agree, lots of knowledge, and nice people found here. And ...  people posting their wonderful results too! Glad you posted yours.

A very nice day for you today with getting your results. Happy for you.  C. 

The new Gilead triple bomb you spoke of, did you mean sov/vel/vox?

Hey congratulations, especially on getting through a whole 24 weeks! 24 weeks was the shortest treatment duration a few years back for Genotype 3's and 2's. Now that seems like a very long time. Have a happy, healthy and Hep C free life, and boy, I' sure life tastes better without that label. :D

Hey Steve,

Congratulations! That's fantastic news and we are all happy to hear the forum was able to help you achieve the goal of SVR. There are many great voices and helpful personalities here. Hearing the kind words from people such as yourself, is music to our ears.

I wish you the best and hope you check in and let us know how that new Hep C free life is treating you. Good luck....

Thanks Jimmy K it is the bomb...wipes the buggers out!

Happy for you Steve. 24 weeks of Harvoni is quite the bomb!

Regards

I only posted on here a few times usually when I was freaked out.  I did read the forums to try and get a better understanding of my treatment and the disease.  

I was on a 24 weeks treatment regimen with Harvoni, my genotype was 1A, and my Fibroscan score was 14 or 16 (have to check) done last September. I did not start treatment until November of 2015.

 I did not clear the Virus in the first 4 weeks on treatment. My 4 week blood test showed 13.  That actually freaked me out, but having read the forum I saw many others who cleared the virus even after being positive at the EOT. 

I was due to get my HCV RNA test 4 weeks ago, but did not because I was about to go on a business trip and did not want to find out bad news before I left. I was convinced I had relapsed. 

Results came in today and  the pesky little devil is gone.
I want to thank everyone who game me support and advice.  I remember one person in particular I think his name is Tig something?  Thank you and God Bless you!

I think this disease is going to be wiped out.  The new triple therapy from Gilead that is in trials now is curing people who failed DAA's included NS5A's.  

Great forum
