Great news Oregondaisy!! # # I heard a good analogy the other day from a UK doctor- he tells his SVR patients, that you are now completely cured, don't get confused in the future if you are tested and it shows antibodies- those are "just a stamp in your passport- they show where you have been in the past, not where you are now"
