HI everybody!

Great news- I had my week four labs, followed up with my doc visit a week later, and I AM UNDETECTED!!!!

It is surreal -It happened so fast, and I’ve lived with it so long!

This is the first song I heard after I got the news……It marked the moment!

Thanks Fara!

I still have 19-ish weeks to go on my treatment, but these week four results shows me it’s working.

Another thing I’m still coming to terms about is my cirrhosis, but at least it shouldn’t get worse, and may even improve as the inflammation goes away.

So, a new normal for me….but a MUCH better outlook that before!

Hi Semisweet,

What great a great result for four weeks in. One of the things I really noticed as the meds started working was the ability to see/think clearly. Your liver will be appreciating the relief already.

Hey semisweet! That is SUH-WHEET news. That was no doubt music to your ears even before that song started playing
Speaking of joyful sounds … Best to you for continued success in sounding the death knoll for your longtime foe.
