CC girl,
Congradulations - way to go - you are on your way back. Hurray.
Chevy - I still linger here and I don't read the post everyday but I thought you were finished tx and were cleared. Are you waiting for your 6 mo check. I sure pray that's it. Best to you.
Got my 2 year results and I am still SVR. test show <10 IU/ml so I was very happy :) There is so many new people here and I pray for all of you for success and a tx that will cure all. For those who do not know me I was 2b with over mil viral load. Stage 2, inflamation grade 2-3 and had this dragon over 30 yrs. I did 23 wks of tx and only 3wks of full dose the rest was half and 3/4 dosage. Sick as a dog and blood count very low, thought I would not make it. But my prayers were answer and most of all he lead me to this wonderful forum right before I started tx. All of you keep supporting each other even through the riba rage times. I wish you all success!
God Bless,
Carol
Congratulations to you! Best wishes for continued good health and much happiness!
Susan
Yep, you're right. I'm a lurker too and these are the ones.
Thanks and God Bless.
Congrtaulations on your SVR, ccgirl!
cc2 - Nice to see your name again and gald you are doing well. I was surprised to see that you's had a two year post-tx PCR done. Is that standard in the States or was there a special reason? I just ask 'cos here they don't do them after the first year, saying you are cured and that it would be impossible for the virus to come back.
Chevy - glad to hear you did clear was worried. You will do just fine on your 3 mo check. Keep the faith! I will watch for your post.
Britgirl,
Yes it is common in the states to get the 2 yr check. I don't think I have to get one until 5 yrs and that will be my option. I will due to life insurance. As long as I stay working I'm covered and will have a little once I retired which I don't think will be enough. So I'll have to get the 5 yr check to be able to get life insurance, that is what I understand.
Oh Chevy how is Indy doing? I did email but haven't heard anything, but that was right after his post. I believe Liz heard from him last week, waiting for an email from her.
Best to everyone and I will still lurk on the board. You all know so much and support each other so well.
Take care everyone.
Carol

Thanks for your congrats though I posted for all of those going TX not me :) to answer a few questions... my eye thing hasnt flared up in 2 weeks, though I am not counting my chickens just yet ! and the depression lifting? I was never put on AD's they thought I wouldnt need them and by the time they relized I did It was too late to start. I think when I started feeling less tired and more myself I felt metally better.All of you hang in there.. Debbie sorry to make you cry, .. you have come a long way 39 weeks, dont know that I could have hung in that long, you are amazing..you all are:)
Thanks for the info on Indy. I will wait and email him later next month. He needs to take care and be with his family. He donated so much of his time here. What a guy!!!! I am so glad he was on the boards doing tx while I was too! What a ride - yikes
Take care
Yes thanks for the update on Indy.....I have been reluctant to write to him because I know he has so much going on in his family life right now....and I know his energy is there. You are a sweetie for letting us know...tell him I said "hello"...and I am going to email him soon....and he certainly can take his time answering me...heck...I am just glad he has you to check in on him .... :>)
You are a true friend.
