Holy Smokes...I'm SVR!!!!

I still can't wrap my head around the idea that my hepatologist just called me with the results from my final blood test and she said you are SVR!  I have so many emotions that I'm feeling right now, but mostly so very grateful and feeling extremely blessed.
A little background...Genotype 4, first time treated with Sovaldi and Olysio for 12 weeks.  Either none or mild cirrhosis which is shocking because I had the dragon for 34 years!  Diagnosed in 1996 and since that day have never had a drop of alcohol and I eat all organic.  I have posted here before that I do have a lot of trouble digesting food and seems to have gotten worse since I took these drugs.  But it's a small price to pay to get rid of this nasty virus.

I truly wish all of you SVR and to go on to lead healthy lives.  These are terrific drugs coming out and I believe Hep C will be a thing of the past very soon.  Bless you all!

Thank you all for all the heartfelt messages.  This community is such a great source of care and support, sort of like a big extended family.  The difference is that we all really understand and empathize for each other and what we're going through.  

You all really helped me get through this but a special thanks to Verdugo for your incredible advice and knowledge.  I do feel like you're my sista from another mother as we have so much in common.

I will be checking in here and if I can be of help or support please don't hesitate to ask!
