HI!

Hi, how is everybody?  I miss you all and all the support.  I've been "undetectable" for 2 yrs now.  And thank you all for the support when I told you all about my nephew needing the kidney/liver transplant.  Finally, they are looking for the organs for him. He's very ill now and hopefully he will have strength to wait the long wait until they find the appropriate organs.  Again, thank you all for all the support for myself, husband when we were on TX for HCV and for my nephew as I said.    Take Care and Be Well, HOPIANGEL

Hello Susan;
            Yes, you will definately be in our prayers. When you get the good news, please post as soon as possible. OK. I know you will be getting great news. I am really happy for you Susan, no one desereves this blessing more than you : )

Thank you for your gracious comments on my tx journey. I try to be a positive about the tx. I keep my pity parties for God & my hubby. They both have allowed me to cry on their shoulders on more than one occasion.

Also, it's people like you that have encouraged me, as well. There are many here at this BB that keep me going & thinking positive. I would like to thank you all!

I am currently waiting for the 20 week vl results. At 16 weeks I was still at 1600. But I am believing it will be undetectable by now.

My doctor & I both agree that if I am not completely clear by 24 weeks, we will stop. But I am not thinking in terms of stopping, but just pressing forward and doing this whole thing for 18 months. Whatever it takes.

God Bless ((((((( Sue ))))))))

The numbers look brilliant!  Now just take it easy, eat well & stay positive!  I'm so excited for you!  This is just what the doctor ordered....some wonderful news!  You deserve this Susan, after all you have been through!  I just know things are gonna be okay!!
You know here in the UK it's National twin week!!!  Yikes!!!!  Wouldn't that be lovely!
It would be wonderful to be able to go through pregnancy together, wouldn't it?  Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Yes, we both need those numbers and I promise to post mine as soon as I get the results.

On a different note, my Pharmacy called today & informed me that my rx for my Pegasus was denied. I asked why and she only said that I had exceeded the limit in presciptions ( according to my PPO )

But that does not make sense because when my doctor first wrote out the rx for the Peg combo > my presciption said 48 weeks and they approved it within 1 week.

So, I will have to call tomorrow to get to the bottom of all this. My gut feeling is that they cut me off because I did not go undetectable at 12 weeks. I sure hope that is not the case.

I am so close to zero, yeck I could be undetectable right now. So, I could sure use some prayers on this new crisis.

Oh man!  Grrrrr...I hate hearing stuff like this.  As if you don't have enough headaches to deal with!  This just seems outrageous to me!  The treatment for HCV has to be among the most grueling medical treatments in existence and the damn insurance companies can't even demonstrate a little flexiblity for the poor souls who have to endure it?  C'mon!

I'll definitely add this situation to my list of things to pray for.  Hang in there, Sue.

I promise to promptly post the results of tomorrow's crucial beta test if you promise to post the results of your PCR.  Both our fates hinge on getting the right numbers.  I need a 164 or higher and you need a big fat zero.  I pray that God is merciful and grants us both the numbers we need.

Best wishes to you, Sue!

I was a 2B. This was why I decided no more PCR's I had it easy compared to the rest of you. Plus I didn't what to continue driving into Tulsa to have more tests.  Thyroid, I've been at same level since I lost it. Haven't had it checked for almost a year. My DR. says he only checks yearly. Country Dr's you know. I'm kinda out in the country far away from the city life. Good to hear from you too. It's so nice to see how many of us made it. In the beginning it was really scary as none of us really new what to expect. Enjoy life.

Love,Peace and Happiness to all
