SVR12-Sovaldi & Olysio Geno 1a

[Savannah12]

I am finally cured of hep c. After 3 failed interferon treatments, it is finally gone. Finished tx Apr. 24 and just had my 12 wk POST tx test. Undetected! I went UND at wk 4 back in February and remained UND ever since. Good luck to everyone. Stay healthy.

Very happy for you! This news is great for you and a lot of others also!

Congratulations on becoming Hep C free.  Sounds like you've been pushing for it for awhile and finally, cured.
Be Well

Fantastic.  Hoping I will be saying the same at the end of my 48 grueling weeks.

Such wonderful news! Congratulations! I am right behind you, I going in for my 12 weeks post EOT blood draw this Thursday, and will get results probably on August 8th.

[Savannah12]

Thank you all!! To be honest though, after 28 years, it's going to have to be at least a year until I truly feel cured and can move on.

Great news, the best!!  Wishing you a wonderful life ahead.    Mary

Happy happy day and congrats for you! The more people that pop up treated the better I feel!  Tomorrow I find out if it's 12 weeks or 3 months that I have to wait for the SVR news.  I too went through three different interferon treatments with the final interferon catastrophe earning me a new medical adjective (I found out in that appeal under questions), I am "interferon intolerant" and because I did not respond on this treatment to zero by week 6, I am also known as a "slow responder."  I finished June 27th, had one test done two weeks later, still non detected and am now waiting.  I really do feel better than I have for a year, so I am hopeful!  I wish I had known about the toothbrushes and razors precaution? That was never mentioned and I didn't even think of myself? (We've been doing this as a family since both of my children were born after my getting this disease around 1979-80.)

Back to you!  Even better news now that you have been added to the list of successes! Congrats to you!

Best wishes for more good news for everyone and better news regarding new treatments for others!  Dbz

Wonderful news!  There have been a number of recent posts not so positive as yours is about SVR post tx .  Your experience reminds us that everybody is an individual in this process.

Best of luck to you getting on with life and your cleared virus.

Congratulations!  What wonderful words to hear.  Good luck in your 'new' life' without the dragon controlling you.

Yes, I used both a new toothbrush and razor every few days. Also, threw away anything else that could have been infectious (makeup brushes, tweezers, chapstick). I am a geno 1a. I never treated with a pi before treatment. Only with riba/inf. Partial responder each time.

[48weeks]

Hey that's great news. Can you tell me if you subscribed to the "swap out tooth brushes and razors every couple of days" theory, and did you use any of the other PI's prior to going on this treatment? Also curious about your genotype? :) Thanks
