CONGRATS to you for beating this dragon. GREAT NEWS for you & your family...

Excellent testimony, and I congratulate you on your success.
I'm 27 yrs old, geno 1a, stage 3 fibrosis.. Right now, on week 16 of 48. Crusin along.. I took some advice Indy stated one time, "buy some dark shades, and ride it out"..
Well I went through the same things, end of my world, and all. I too was just married, getting ready to start my family etc.
But I just wanted to thank you for sharing your encouraging thread. Sometimes alot of us need reminder that this TX is worth it. So many times we hear the negative, and we really need to hear the success. Good luck to you and your family!!
I also, was extremely inspired by your story, thanks. We all need to keep hearing positive stories of success, it makes our journey through tx more hopeful, and a bit less scary, I think. best of luck to you and your family.... another HCV virus bites the dust!!! yeah...

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us all. I too shared the feeling of my world come crashing down on me with the news...and I also was asked over and over about the HOW I got the virus....I will never know either...just have to forget that issue I guess. Your words and testimony to the success of your journey gives me hope and encouragement....thank you. I take my 2nd shot tonight...2/48 so I need all the positive energy I can get. It means alot to us ALL to hear these stories of hope.

Did your mother have hep c? I got my hep c thru a transfusion i received in 1967. Did you ever ask her?
I, too, hap 2 c-sections afterwards w/neither kid infected.
Thanks for posting your story. While I hate for anyone to go through what I've gone through, I do feel less alone when I read stories posted by people in similar circumstances (I have a 2 year old now & learned of the virus in my 20s). Thanks for sharing:)
I am so happy for you. Congratulations. I also do not know how I got the virus. Many of us here do not. The best thing is that you did something about it like I did. I also got my one year post treatment "undetectable" viral load last september. I wish you the best of luck with your daughter test.
It makes me feel very good to know that I was able to make some of you feel a little better. When I was feeling down I used to get on line and read all the comments and questions from this forum and that made me feel better. I wrote once before and I got wonderful comments and encouragement from other people. The least I can do now is do the same things for others that might need it now. As to the questions about if I got this disease from my mom, a few months after I was diagnosed with Hep C the doctor recommended that my mother and my husband be tested and so they did and their test came back negative, thank God. This was another nightmare, waiting for their results.
