A quick word of encouragement, LG.

Went in to see my specialist last week after SVR4 results. It was pretty clear from the results and our conversation that she pretty much considers her work to be finished with regard to my Hep C treatment. We talked briefly about the odds for long term SVR after acheiving SVR4, and they're excellent.

She said to go ahead and have EOT +12 labs done as they have already have an order for it, but that she wouldn't need to see me for another year.

She then gave me the standard required warning abut reinfection (actually laughing a little when she had to do the bit about IV drug use). It was music to my ears though, because I knew what it meant. She believes I'm cured, just as I believe you are cured.

Looking forward to confirmation of your SVR12, LG. I know you've got this!

Thanks Fitz :+1:

I haven't tested since EOT, but at 10 weeks, LFTs were all within range and Alt good.

I've kept myself busy this weekend, but every now and then, a feeling of excitement followed by a feeling of panic comes into my head :ohmy:

We all know that feeling, LG, and we're all SO proud of you,

You are a true warrior and a rebel, and you've done it all with extraordinary courage, and tremendous compassion.

LFTs within range 10 weeks after EOT.... You are crushing it!

Thank-you fitz & beaches :+1:

Not wanting to sound like a drama queen :blush: - I guess my fear is, I was one of a very small % - ie being in the slow lane on tx, so I think am 'protecting' myself until I get the result, as It's possible I could still be in the small %.

Heard this morning test is saying ' incomplete' - ie hasn't been done yet. Will be keeping myself busy with work shortly :silly: :P

Hi LG,

Hi LG,
I know what it's like to wait! Ups and downs! :unsure: :silly: :woohoo:

But there's so little until you have a written confirmation in black and white. ALT is excellent, a good predictor!

I wish you to be a member of the club SVR12 with more and more members.

All the best and good health!

HCV since I don't know. Diagnosed in 2010.
