Welcome back. I can so relate to how you feel. This was my fourth treatment. But now the door has opened and cures are happening with these new drugs. I don't have the links to all the treatment results but it is on the site posted by others. There is my treatment with interferon and one without if you cannot or don't want to take interferon. Have faith and see your doctor plus the treatments are only 3 months. Good luck to you.
Hi, I'm just starting back on the site and haven't seen my doctor since september. I did a 48 wk tx with interferon and ribivirun with undetected after 6wks and relasped a month after treatment. I kind of fell off the wagon and got really depressed. I'm ready to fight again and love all the good news I'm reading about new treatments and studies. I am genotype 1a. where can I find more info on the Gilead study? Congratulations on your recovery must be a wonderful feeling. This disease stays on my mind every waking moment.
wow, that is such good news, i'm so happy for you!!!
happy new year!!!
peace
Wow! That's fantastic!! Now you can really rest easy! Happy for you!
Well it is official, six months after, and I still undetected, and cured. What a miracle. This is such good news for all those needing treatment. The new Gilead drug works. Good luck to everyone going into treatment.
Thanks, I appreciate it and good to see you too...

OC & 3xl ...good to see you both again with this news!
Congrats and be well

Thanks for the posts. For those going to treat there are so many options with or without interferon. 2014 looks like the year for a cure.
Congrats on the great news. Hoping that 2014 is a good year for many of us. I am going back for my regular 6 month imaging in March and then seeing my hepa doctor in May to discuss tx options. Hoping to join your club by the end of the year!
great news, that is awesome...i'm expecting a call from one of gileads offices to do some kind of followup tracking soon.

Congrats wondeful news! Sounds very promising for others also
NICE you and OC both on Sovaldi. That makes me want to try it. Congrats and best of luck. I'm a Grade 2 stage 2-3, GT 1a, phenotype TT and my Dr thinks I should wait for a few months to see what the landscape looks like.
Congrats on the SVR, wishing you all the best
Congratulations! Enjoy your new Hep C free life. Best of luck.
Went in for my six month test On Thursday and low and behold they told me that the gold standard is now 12 week to be considered cured if you are SVR at 12 weeks!!' Who knew hard to comprehend after 15 years it is gone. It appears there is a 1% Chance of relapse but pretty rare. After the six months results Gilead will ask if I want to continue for three years with a bi annual blood test and physical. My doctor who is very conservative wants to do a sonogram every six months to watch for liver cancer. He says that with fibrosis you run a small chance of developing liver cancer but with careful monitoring until the liver regenerates if it happened and was caught early is fully treatable. What a journey. But boy does the landscape for a full recovery look good for everyone with this disease.
thanks, i'm with you brother, good luck!!!

Congrats on the great news. What a great way to start the year! I go back in March for imaging and then have an appt with my hepatologist in May. Hoping to hear that there is a new option for me - hoping that 2014 is my year for a cure!
