What are the chances of it coming back?

ak4
I was diagnosed with Hep C 1b in late 2004. Started Interferon and Ribavirin in April 2005. Finished treatment in March 2005. It was undetectable after 3 months and 6 months. I'm coming up on the 1 and half year mark since I stopped treatment and was wondering if anyone knows the what the chances of it coming back are. I'm new to this post and I feel for all of you. I'm pretty scared and just had my blood test.
Thanks

Hi, I know people that are up to 8 years cleared of the virus, i think that your chances of remaining SVR after 1 and half years are pretty good.  Congratulations by the way.
