Your news is a great start to my day:)
Many congratulations, your numbers look really, really good!

Hey David,

Those numbers are looking great! Dang near 7 weeks post tx! WOW! In the words of my man's doc, "Are 'you' starting to come back yet?"
My man is 8 weeks post tx today and he feels better everyday. He still has some of that riba snarley attitude pop back up at times but nothing serious. He is almost back to his "real" self again.
David, you have always been the calm during the storm here and you have no idea how much that means to the old timers and newbies alike.
Gods speed and SVR to you!

Hey Tn guy, it is looking mighty good, I can't wait 2 more months! can't you speed it up? ;>]

stc; antibiotics can not kill interferon since it is not a bacteria, the target of those meds.  the penicillins are the most beneficial of the antibiotics because they do not damage too many of the beneficial bacteria in our body.

David, those numbers look real good to me. CONGRATULATIONS. We will both be getting tests done in April. It seems so far from now but each day is getting better. Hope you are doing good.
