Sittin' here at home I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed
And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned
Left my family
Left my home
I worked my fingers to the bone
And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned
And I was havin' no good time
Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight yeah
no pain no success
I don't complain about the stress
I wanted SVR and now it's here
So I don't *****
And I swear that time's the trick
It disappears in oh so quick
Man I was just twenty
And now I'm starin' at fifty-one
But I'm still havin' a good time
Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight
And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes
But one day you're gonna say I saw the light
And now headin' for the hill
And I just cannot wait until
My children grow up to have children of their own
And I'll be telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against the virus all alone
Drinkin' water and stayin' high
And realized it wouldn't last
And how I turned myself around
And went down another path
And the signs we must observe
When life's changes do occur
But most of all I'll tell them
Just how proud I am of them
And always have a good time
It's all love and good times
Let's all have a good time Yeah

I am so very happy for you! You did it! Perserverance beat the virus! This is good news for everybody else who is/was detectable but not quantifiable at week 24. Enjoy your virus free life!

Wish you a free life now!
Be well.

Perhaps Arase et al. are on the right way indeed? Well, one single case (me) without a control is no evidence, but another hint.
My deep solidarity is with all of you, who still have to fight.
Best wishes, drofi
Arase et al., Inter Med 47: 1301-1307, 2008
The aim of this study was to determine the suitable treatment period in patients who achieve virological
response during combination therapy of peginterferon and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Methods: Inclusion criteria were HCV-genotype 1b, serum HCV RNA level of 100 KIU/ml before treatment,
and negativity of serum HCV RNA during treatment. The 366 patients were enrolled in this retrospective
cohort study. Patients were classified into four groups according to difference of response: rapidvirological
response (RVR) at week 4 after the initiation of treatment (n=37), early-virological response
(EVR) at week 5-12 (n=161), late-virological response (LVR) at week 13-24 (n=131), and superlatevirological
response (SLVR) at week 25-48 (n=37). A non-relapse in patients with undetectable HCV RNA
during therapy was defined as clearance of HCV RNA 6 month after the cessation of therapy.
Results:
Of the 366 patients, 241 had non-relapse and the non-relapse rate in each group was 89% (33/37)
in RVR, 79% (127/161) in EVR, 54% (71/131) in LVR, and 27% (10/37) in SLVR. In RVR, 26 of 27 patients
with continuance of negative HCV RNA of 30 weeks during treatment had non-relapse. In EVR, patients
with period of negative HCV RNA of 40 weeks had non-relapse rate of 90% (71/79). In LVR and
SLVR, all nine patients with continuance of negative HCV RNA of 60 weeks had non-relapse.
Conclusion A suitable treatment period of combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C should be determined
based on the time of attainment of negative HCV RNA.

Really happy for you.
More evidence is accruing that treating for 44 weeks or so past UND is getting good results.
Anecdotal evidence is still evidence drofi.
CS
And I think you're absolutely right about Arase; newbies routinely ask how Drs came up with 24 and 48w. Determining tx duration from evidence seems such a duh-concept it's really remarkable it's just surfacing now (the trouble with Drusano was that it was based on retrospective statistical modeling of standard-length tx).
Anyway, you're free now - enjoy!
