Hi Taz,

Sorry to hear of your predicament, but when it comes to tooth problems and abscesses, there's nothing worse and they need to be dealt with before they cause worse problems.

I reckon with 32 weeks under your belt, you stand a really good chance of SVR and fingers crossed for you aww

Love Steff xx

Taz, it looks like you hung in there as long as you could.  We always sacrifice one thing for another on this tx.  32 weeks is a good, long time; I'm hoping you will achieve SVR.  Please keep us posted.

I think with 32 weeks you have a real good chance of staying clear and getting SVR. I sure hope so, anyway. Good luck with the tooth. I really don't like dentists. Alan

 Hi Taz!

32 weeks! wow that sounds pretty good to me. I really hope you remain UND!!!  Have you been UND since week 4?

I may end up doing 36 weeks (because I was not und at week 4) but my mind is still set on the 24 weeks that all the literature boasted and which is what sold me on this tx.

Keep us posted.  and all the best with that tooth.

Taz--I sure am hoping that you will remain UND--32 weeks is a good run. I had tooth and lump issues just prior to starting tx. Cannot imagine having to deal with that pain and doing tx. You are brave soul for hanging on as long as you did. Hope you are feeling better now!

Not being there it is hard for me to understand wanting to quit. I am sure you were absolutely miserable. But I can't understand quitting after 32 weeks. The good thing is that you may remain UND. I just wonder if after six months will they still call it SVR if you don't complete the treatment? I guess you'll see. Good luck in all you do, and I hope the many weeks of treatment that you finished will stick with you forever.

Alan

 @alan anyone who tests und 6 months after tx is SVR regardless of completion or not.

@taz wishing you the best
