Mgalbrai, I finished mid December ’15 I feel very very lucky to have been part of this
i don’t think anyone will be able to complain about generics or run them down, we tested in a lab, the drug was the drug it was meant to be, I am well early into the treatment and still after..
Will do more tests and update again later!
More good news over morning coffee – making for a cheery start to the day

Hi WishIwasawombat,
thats the best of news for you and people like me that will follow.
The ‘wtf do I do now’ is something I am scared of a bit. When I was told that I would definitely need 24 weeks on sof/dac (I started on 12 weeks needing to clarify my F value), I actually felt a bit relieved.
The only way I can rationalise this feeling is by relating it back to the endless waiting I/we endured previously before generics.
It is also different as the outcomes will be outcomes we initiated rather then being a result of some specialist inflicting interferon on us.
Just the nature of what we are doing here I suppose, but I have faith I will be SVR in the end. Posts like yours will let me keep the faith so to speak.
HCV free 8 weeks post treatment – good for you and good for me!
Yours
J.
Hi Sabre cat
When you get the news it is the most incredible feeling, I was laughing and crying at the same time.. My hands to shaky for the email to type and let people know! It was amazing happiness!
I was like it for a few weeks. Then I did go into a depression over it, but it didn’t last.. with the deeper comprehension I was finally free it couldn’t beat me this time. I am 49 and had woken up with a ticket back into life but with nothing and not knowing where to turn, how to restart , but yeh it just didn’t win, the freedom won. So don’t worry if you do dive a bit, it’s natural.
I didn’t ever feel as if I was waiting, failing interferon was like “ok, I am incurable, that’s my chance used up, it will kill me in time, how do I deal with it” and i couldn’t really. I had trained myself into not starting or investing in anything or anyone as I wouldn’t be here to enjoy it or see it through it became a habit in my approach to life & thinking.. I also became very fat, withdrawn and misanthropic, It was my way for a decade, (since interferon fail) and it’s fairly big thing to change now
But everyone has a few big things in their life, this is one of ours and it’s a very nice one. Like most other people– we too will be ok
I really wish you all the best !!
Thank youuuuu Lyn
I see your free of it too happy for you!!!
Excellent to hear! So happy for you! What an amazing feeling it must be
Wtf now is quite an understandable feeling! This ride can be an emotional one at times. There’s only one thing to do, dive right in to everything you have held back from all this time!
Hello again everyone
I am still healed at 6 months post treatment now!
Since being cured, I have started a little business, lost 10 kilo’s, well 7, but I like to round it off..
Small things, but i had thought, pre tx, that they were long past & lost for me…
I’m really happy and so very grateful to Dr Freeman for going out on a limb for us all. My friends friend died of Hep C the other day, but so many of us won’t now.
HAHAH .. ahh that made me laugh I got a pic of myself with a big gold 24 stamped into my forehead that glowed like the supernatural
