    Hi Stingray, welcome back and thanks for sharing your story. Back then no one knew about FixHepC, you took a leap of faith, and you got lucky. Right now, things are much better, no one has to take risks, anyone who does a little research will come quickly to the conclusion that this is the real deal. Glad to hear that you’re feeling much better than before treatment, that’s really awesome :+1:

    Great job as always Hazel :+1: :+1: The videos production is high quality, and they drive the point across very nicely. I like the backpack metaphor, very accurate.

    Congratulations Maga on these excellent results, things look really good. The odds are very much in your favor to stay undetected 12 weeks from now and reach SVR 12. Looking forward to your cure announcement at that time :+1: :+1:

    Hi Bobrass, as Splitdog mentioned, two blood tests are recommended at 4 weeks into treatment, then again recommended at the end of treatment, and finally required 12 weeks after the end of treatment (to prove cure). Here are the tests names :
    ⦁ HCV RNA PCR (Quantitative)
    ⦁ CBC + CMP

    Congratulations to all New Zealanders, also to Hazel, Dr James, and all the activists who helped a lot or a little in order for this to happen. The country now has the opportunity to eliminate hepatitis C completely within the next 10-15 years :)

    Hello Miodrag, and welcome to the forum. Do you exercise in the gym? Some activities, such as heavy exercising, can temporarily increase your ALT/AST levels. Please continue your treatment until the end, and let us know your viral load result after 15 days. At any rate, you shouldn’t be disappointed, 75% of patients who are still detected at end of treatment, go on to reach SVR 12 (cure). The overall cure rate with Sof/Dac and other modern DAAs is about 95%, so the odds are very much on your side.

    Hi Tanya, it’s very strange that the doctor told you that you’re cured without asking for the 3 months post treatment HCV RNA test, that definitely doesn’t sound right as you said. I will let Dr James answer your GGT and ASL results question.

    Hi Tanya, welcome to the forum, and sorry to hear that you’re still feeling sick.
    The only way to know if you’re cured or not is to take a blood test (called Hepatitis C RNA Quantitative) 3 months after finishing treatment. If the result is undetected, then you’re cured (with 99.7% certainty). Dr James Freeman should be giving you his opinion about what you said, but please answer these questions : Have you taken the mentioned test at least 3 months after finishing treatment? Did it show that the virus is undetected?

    Congratulations JohnSmith, that’s fantastic news :cheer: :cheer: Cure can be declared with 99.7% certainty once a patient is undetectable 12 weeks after end of treatment (called SVR 12). When patients reach SVR 24 (undetected 24 weeks after end of treatment), cure is confirmed. The chances of relapse post SVR12 are 1 in 300, this is very rare, and you are far more likely to be in the 299 than the 1. I’ll take these odds. Your next step is take the test in 12 weeks one more time to confirm cure, but I would say that you’re pretty much cured #woohoo!
