Hi 2b

Good to hear from you. While doing research into treatment options I read a lot of your posts on this forum. Your treatment success, and that of the other GT2s on this forum, was the reason I decided to go down the generic SOF + DCV path. Thanks for helping pave that path for me.

I’m glad to hear that all of your extra energy has enabled you to get busy with life again. I’m looking forward to that! I’m feeling better and better as every week passes. We are the lucky ones who were infected with the HCV genetic weakling in the HCV genotype playground. I hope other GT1s and GT3s are not disheartened by our relatively quick clearance rates. We are just plain lucky. The DAAs will get rid of their HCV RNA … just takes a little longer … but it will happen!

Thanks mate, from the GT2 newbie to the original 2b (veteran).

Halfway there!

Day 42 of treatment today. So I thought that I’d reflect on the ride so far.

Tricia registered her nursing notes about moderation and maintaining treatment notes, while Gaj and Beaches declared their addiction to coffee and advised, together with Coral and re-roll, no need to avoid it. They neglected, however, to give me advance warning of the rabble on this forum.

At one extreme, the Honky Tonk Woman gives me Joy with her warm wishes, and then at the other extreme a pie loving pirate threatens to make me walk the plank, and rip the throats out of my footy team, simply because her team lost to mine recently. Then, a tribe of degenerate surfies temporarily stunned me with a psychedelic cossie, hijacked me, and took me to some rock in the Hep C free world that Matt knows of, where you can go surfing with elephants. Now, that was one hell of a trip. You won’t get that on a Contiki Tour.

Thanks guys for putting a smile on my dial every day.

I was planning to be a strong bronzed Aussie and tough this ride out on my own. I’m glad that I changed my mind and joined the forum. The warm support given by all of you has helped me a lot more than I imagined.

Here’s one of my favourite comedy skits. I hope that it puts a smile on your dial.

Hi Joy

Thanks for Honking.

Here’s a good old fashioned Aussie TOOT! TOOT! back.

To paraphrase the Wriggles, Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga from the Big Red Car …

Hi Matt

Great cartoon!

Sometimes our so called “democracy” feels like a dictatorship … especially when the tail wags the dog to such an extent that big Phama dictates to governments and then avoids paying its fair share of corporate tax by funnelling the majority of their profits into low taxed countries, like Ireland (12.5%).

I hope that you are sailing through your first few days of treatment.

Best Wishes

Good one Beaches … no offence taken here.

I’m not too sure what sort of degenerate misfit, or mental defective, Ronald is …

Ya gotta have a laugh … it lightens the load …

Hi Everyone

Great News Today … I finally got back by week 4 Vial Load Test.

All of my week 4 tests results are back now. I was thrown a curve ball initially with an unexpected high fasting glucose level. It concerned me and I was worried it may have adverse effects on the efficacy of the SOF + DCV. I was feeling confident prior to this.

I was also feeling the pressure of not letting the GT2 team down …especially considering that I had the audacity to call myself GT2 and Dr Freeman stated that he has 100% for SOF + DCV in GT2 so far.

Anyway, I can happily say that I haven’t ruined the batting average. Dr Freeman, you still have a perfect strike rate. I know I’m only on first base, but I’m confident of making it home to SVR12. Thanks Greg Jefferys for taking the time to explain all of my treatment options, considering your busy schedule at the time, and then making the rest of the process a breeze. I will always be internally grateful to you and Dr Freeman. This has changed my life!
