Got my answer

Extend.

We went in and met with GI. She was awesome.

Thanks again to all of you guys for helping me to be a better advocate for myself.

Thanks rita and peace to you too!

Trin - the main question I kept in my head through this was that if I allowed them to make me stop at 24 and if I didn't SVR, would I be able to live with myself?  Now I know I gave it my best shot, and the rest is a craap shoot! I can't really complain much though. The sides have been brutal from week 1 and most days I think this is the worst living he!l that anyone could imagine. Reality sets in for me almost daily when I come here. My extended tx is still only half of yours. It's still less than the SOC for 1s and 4s. And it's certainly minute next to the so many others who have battled over and over!

Glad you finally have some peace of mind.  The very best we can do is give ourselves every opportunity to beat this virus down.  I know you work and it's sooo hard just to keep going everyday on tx and then we have to add some more time to our sentence.  
It's a tough road but hopefully we will be rewarded in the end for our extra effort.

:)

It's all good. I was happy at first to think it was over. I also fretted because the current SOC doesn't always work so well for the g3. I paid close attention when those who have been around forever reminded everyone that we may sometimes clear faster, but we also tend to relapse easily when we don't.

deb: thank you!
Marcia: here's hoping the +24 will become the new SOC and those who come behind us won't have to fight so hard for better odds.
epiphiny: it feels great!

I am so so happy for you!!!!! They really had me sweating for you here.

Lolitriqui's and my doc both used the same formula, UND + 24.

Much love,

Marcia
