Class of 2009 - SVR this year

I thought I'd start an SVR 2009 thread, just to see how many people made it this year.

I started this thread on the Hep Social Forum, but just realized that not everyone is hanging out over there.

Hopefully, I will be in 2010 Class.  I finished (2 wks early) 4 wks ago, UND at 12 wks.  My hubby has his last injection tonight.

This post is a good idea.  It would be great if this post would remain permanent for all to see.  It is encouraging.

[meakea]

I also hope to be with YuK in the 2010 Class.  I finished 48 weeks of TX (geno 1b) 13 weeks ago and I was UND at week 4 of tx and then UND at 12 weeks post-tx.  I hope to be UND in 12 more weeks too...thus, SVR at that time.

Thank you soo much for the prayers, Marcia!  Truly appreciated  and yes, I am treating for 48 weeks...and was supposed to do another 24 but cannot get any financing for the tx...so I am praying that the 48 weeks will keep me SVR.  I was a slow responder but I do believe in miracles!  And the power of prayer...

I just just realized that this is members that have completed tx, right?  Ohhh Marcia, the brain fog IS bad....I must say....hehehe

Great to see the class of 2009-

Praying for everyone to have their SVR day SOON............

[lalapple]

dude guys, i so want to be apart of this class!!!  so as you all know, november was suppose to be my 6th mo post.  i had my pcr done properly along with about 10 other vials before TGV hoping to know the results for TGV.  and guess what, even as of now, there are no news of that pcr!!!  why?  bc the test was never conducted since the specimen wasn't frozen.  yea... ok.  so now i'm at school and won't be getting another pcr  until winter break starts for me.  hopefully, i can get the results before this year ends.

[lalapple]

Diagnosed 1995
Treated first time 48 weeks, May 2008 to April 2009
SOC (Pegasys and ribavirin)
SVR
No physical post-tx side effects, except for raised cholesterol

My hepatologist called  it "cured" when I saw him this week!  I asked him why "cured" and he explained his change of opinion with lots of stuff I only half heard because I was so happy. This from a very experienced, conference-addicted hepa who, before this, always hesitated to use the "cure" word!

Kewl...............

Congrats to all who SVR'd and future success to those who, with patience and time, will SVR. My thoughts are with you.

Happy holidays to all.
