I am so excited. Everything about this trial lines up. The timing for the transplant, the fact that you treat right up to the TP date, the fact that you are a null responder and this is sans interferon. It is like all the planets were lined up. I bet you were hand picked based on recommendations by your heppo.
Any chance they would continue the hep C treatment post transplant, if the TP ends up being sooner than the 6 months?
September 11 will take on a whole new meaning.

This site would not be as awesome as it is because of your generous contributions. You never cease to amaze us with your strength of spirit. I have learned more from you than any Doc I have visited.
Really happy for you now at this time and priviledged to be a witness to this hard earned victory in the war of this disease. Like I have written before, I never knew my Dad, never had a brother but I imagine if I did, they would have possessed your qualities of communication and empathy. You Rock Hector. So glad you are part of this family. You mean so much to me and all of us! We sure are behind you as you are our leader - or atleast that is what I would tell any Alien that might land from Mars - I am gonna send em to you. haha Good luck brave warrior. You have sent out so much good to others. This is your time now Mr. Inspiration.
Congrats ! You are a living Miracle ! Keep the Faith !
I am so glad to hear the great news. You have been such a help to everyone on here, so glad you are finally getting good news. Prayers to you ..

Wonderful News Hector I know I am a few days late!
What wonderful news! I love the way they're thinking :-)
that is awsome Hector! I really hope everything works out way better then expected! Looking forward to hearing about the happy ending to your story!
Praise God! I will keep you in my prayers. I am HCV Genotype 6 and just missed a Trial by its cutoff, (hard to find GT6 in the USA) but am still looking as time and God allows. Keep us posted, OK? Your success is ours also!
God Bless!

Congratulations on getting into the trial...looking forward to good things for you!
Best wishes,

Hector, I read your story last night and woke up this morning thinking what a miraculous turn of events for you. From being closer to the end of the road than any of us wants to get, you may soon have a fully functional liver that is virus free. You won the lottery but better.
I'll be watching with my fingers crossed all the way for you,

TB?! Goodness gracious, you have endured more than anyone should have to. Guess it's time to be rid of all of it, and move into the next, extremely healthy phase of your life. I'm so excited for you!

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. I really appreciate it. Looks like I will be start the trial around September 11th. At least that is when I have to have my baseline done by.
I am hoping this time between now and then will give me time to eliminate my tuberculosis by the time I start treatment. That will put me at about 3 months of TB treatment, out the the 4 months I originally was suppose to do. Otherwise I will have to retreat again post transplant. We'll see.
Cheers all!
Hector
I dont come on the social side very often but I am very happy I did tonight.Congrats Hector on the wonderful news and I hope and pray that it works for you. You are probably one of the most knowledgable and caring people on here and I wish you well.
Hector that is great news. Wishing you all the best.
Wow!! Is this some good news or what?? You have been such an influence on me with my tx I cant begin to thank you enough. Good things do happen to good people sometimes, and this is certainly one of those times. I will be praying for you my friend. I too was classified "null" by my treating Dr, and am now SVR. It does happen.
God bless you Hector!!
This is wonderful news, Hector. I am so very happy for you that you have been accepted and will treat soon. I am sending very positive thoughts and wishes your way.
Yay yay yay!!!!! Jumping up and down, so excited and happy for you! I haven't been around much but when I do check in I always look to see what's happening with you and I'm so excited to hear this news. You are in good hands and now to have this opportunity, it is nothing short of amazing, and I am just thrilled for you. Go Hector, I will be in your corner, cheering you on from the east coast. When do you start? I am beaming.
Sally
