Hi Kathy, yes incivek is indeed a very powerful, but also toxic, drug which is why people only take it for 12 weeks.  Good to know your husband has had a successful outcome finally after going through two bouts of very difficult treatment, you must both be very pleased about that. 

Thanks for sharing you story with us.
