Mark,
We did it! We drove this out together
And both achieved SVR!
I second Malcolm--it was hell!
Mission accomplished!
I still am trying to wrap my head around
That I am Hep C free.
While cooking yesterday I thought
To myself, I don't have to worry about
Exposing anyone to Hep C anymore!
That's a huge relief.
Enjoy life!!!!

That's outstanding news Mark!! Five times was a charm, eh? You must almost be without the proper words for the joy and satisfaction you feel right now. I have to think that after your almost continual battle to beat the Dragon, it was almost unbelievable when you heard it. Well the truth is that you have achieved SVR and congratulations are in order!!

WOW , WHAT GOOD NEWS. I so happy to hear that some one here has had good results  from a really bad treatment. It gives me some hope of things  to come. I was reading/ trolling the boards last night and read a lot of disparaging post and tried to write some good comments if I could. Every time I wrote some thing about my thoughts I ended up just deleting my posts. It occurred to me how depressed and sick I have become and that everything I wanted to say was depressing or worst.  You have help make my morning a better one. I am truly so glad for you. Cheers
