That is wonderful news! Congrats!! It does inspire me, I'll tell you that. I have had a tough time of it lately with low wbc and rbc and generally feeling whooped. Everytime I hear of someone making it through tx with excellent results I get excited!! I am a 1a so it is always in the back of my mind wondering if the tx is doing what it is supposed to do.
I am so happy for you!! God has blessed you!!
You are a winner Beth.Thanks for encouraging us.
Thanks for sharing your story. Mine is similar but I have eight more months until I can use the "C" word. I too found I was "infected" from a blood test and spent a couple of years in limbo waiting for the next generation treatment. Hopefully in eight months I'll be glad I went down this path.
Great news. Congratulations to you. Be well. Mike
Congratulations and thanks for the encouragement. Those of us just starting out appreciate it. It's great to hear the success stories.
Congratulations! I hope I will be in the same situation soon! (1b, week 47 of Pegasys/Rebetol treatment)

Congrats to you and thanks for sharing and giving us more hope.
Jill, Good luck to you tomorrow. I know your scared, so was I but it was a breeze compared to the waititng to start. LL
I, too, am SVR 1yr post-tx. I, too, consider myself cured. Altho 2b, I went into complete liver failure before even tested for hep c. I was told I would be dead by now, b/outlived every prediction.
I feel so good now. Energy high, out look positive, making plans 2 yrs in the future now.
Altho still ESLD, I am so releived I went the tx and lifestyle way, instead of giving up, not treating or trying for a transplant.
I have no idea what my life expectancy is now, b/I know my liver damage has halted and it feels as if active healing is going on.
BethUK congrads and don't quit your new found good habits!!
congratulations that is so encouraging. i'm so glad you made it through all the odds. this is hope for all of us. i was just reading the information givin me with the meds. (just started tx). it says for people over 40 and overwieght (me) the odds of clearing go from 60% to 49% for my genotype. so i was sad today. but, your news gives me hope. thanks.
Great news Beth! So glad to hear the positives. Hope you are doing well otherwise. Any leftovers from tx?

Congrats all SVRs!! Dont despair, LVDBYGOD, I am over 40 (54) and overweight (160-170) 5'6", Im a 1b, and at 14 weeks was SVR, I NEVER thought negative about this tx, always knew it was gonna work on me. When my biopsy results didnt come back (at least dr didnt call 'til 2 weeks later), hubby asked me wasnt I concerned? And I said no, whatever it says I gotta live with it, Im going to tx it, that's that. So my advice "NO NEGATIVE THINKING" I have seen what positive mental outlook does, in my own life, and others as a nurse, and its AMAZING! what people can accomplish just by being POSITIVE!
I've e-mailed you but would like to congratulate you "in public" too! Cheers!
I'm a 1b guy, 21 weeks into a 48 week tx and you are an inspiration to me when I hear good news like yours. Makes me want to keep banging away with the tx even when I feel rather uninspired. Good news for you and hopefully good news for us!
Happy Day for you. we all hope we will reach SVR too. its great to have people to share the journey with. blessings.....
I am SOOOOO happy for you Beth! There is life after TX!
