CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
you really went through a lot..great news...thanks for posting ...billy
congratulations; wonderful news; I know the feeling as I got SVR news at 6 mos as well. This July will be one year since I stopped the interf & rib. I kept a journal and reflect back on it on occasion as time does erase some things. Very eye opening to read. I do not and will not take any day for granted OR for feeling good. I remember seeing some of your posts when I was treating; did you treat for the 1 year or more? I had Geno 2b, so my course was 6 months and it was not fun; cannot imagine the longer time. Best wishes to you!!
Great news my fellow Nevadan. God has certainly planned more time on this earth for you. You can now get your liver back to normal, then realize you've been given a second chance and make the best of it.
Start out by taking a nice two week healing vacation in Fiji, Ixtapa or Tahiti. (Hawaii is too crowded). Lay on the beach, soak up the fresh air and sun, rest and come back with your batteries charged. And if you're not married, maybe you can find a male guide to show you around the island just so you won't get lost. Let us know how the beaches are.... So so so so so so happy for you....

Congratulations, well done.
viva las sentance...now that's what I'd call a royal flush...HCV style...
and thank God it's all down the old JCCrapper now and you just have one beautiful cooler head (in wigless private at least).
It's nice to know termites aren't chewing on your innards, Huh???
that's quite a list, but at least most of that stuff has passed....not like the disease which just sits there saying "I'm comin fer ya" or "howdy pardner" down your way.
shouldn't there be a special acronym for survivor status?? Like SVR+1 or +2 as the years go by?? that might give all the rest more hope!!
glad you made it....
is your autoimmune stuff getting better?
LOL!
I answered this on the other side... HUGS BABE!

SVR is the nicest TLA when someone says they have it. Congrats.
Sure hope the AI stuff eases up now.
All the Best
