GOOD NEWS! SVR12!
Dear Fellow Dragon Slayers—The Dragon is Dead!
I wanted to let you all know that I got "THE CALL" (earlier than they told me) from gastroenterology a few minutes ago, and my 12 week EOT HCV RNA QN test came back UNDETECTABLE! I am cured—no further follow-up needed (her exact words). They are not going to do a 24 week follow-up test.
I did the triple Tx Sovaldi/Interferon/Ribavirin for 12 weeks from Feb. 7 until May1. I was UND during the whole Tx, and at 4 weeks EOT. My Ribavirin dosage was 1,000 a day the first month, reduced to 600 the second month (after 2 days off, then 2 days at 200 after an ER visit) then up to 800 the third month.
I want to thank all of you who have been such a wonderful support for me through all of this—I don't know what I would have done without all of your cheering and knowledge. I will post a scan of the report after I pick it up tomorrow for you all to see.

No Hep C for you! A wonderful freeing feeling it must be I see you twirling in organza to impressionistic music in slow motion. Okay, I confess - I was just watching So You Think You Can Dance - got carried away. But I imagine it to be that way for you.
Very best wishes as you dance off into the sunlight, with or without the organza.
