Thanks Beaches! Still have that Champagne locked and loaded for you, and for Meg too! Have decided to wait until EOT +4 weeks to test again. The way it works here, EOT VL is on the test schedule, as is SVR12, but nothing in between. So will use the EOT tests at 4 weeks post EOT, to determine if SVR4 has been reached.

If I remain UND at SVR4, then we can infer UND at EOT as well. My decision, my consequences, but hey – I bucked the system to get here, and reaped the rewards with <15 at 6 weeks, and UND at 8 weeks. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this

May pop into a walk in testing facility for interim LFTs. If so will post.

Yesterday was my last dose of generic Sof/Led obtained through the REDEMPTION 3 Trial. 6 weeks since VL <15, and 4 weeks since UND.

Today is EOT for me, and it feels a bit surreal not to have opened the bottle of MYHEP LIVR -- Generic 'Harvoni' Sofosbuvir 400mg, Ledispavir 90mg produced under Gilead license in India by Natco for Mylan. The medicine bottles are now quite empty, there is no medicine left. I have taken the entire 12 week course of treatment. I'm done.

Happy EOT and only UND!

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

Wishing you all the best Fitz
Sounds great for SVR4 coming up and like you say LFTs are a fallback when we need a little boost I sure use that blood test often enough since SVR12 even! (Just being vigilant)
I’m backing you Fitz your empathy and kindness are so appreciated too on this forum by myself anyway! You are always so encouraging and affirming
Sending you Goodvibes for your forthcoming path
Happies from Ariel

Hey ya’ll, RHF, Ariel, Matt, Beaches, LG, and Sven, I appreciate the well wishes!

Went in for EOT +4 week labs before the sun was up, and had CMP and CBC results back before noon.

Good news so far. LFTs are in the normal range as are all other metabolic markers. Blood counts are completely normal for the first time in memory. Will have VL tests back in a few days.

Fingers crossed my friends!
