**FINAL REPORT 10/10/14**
HCV VIRAL LOAD (Final 10/10/14):
HCV-RNA NOT DETECTED.
Performed using Cobas Ampliprep / Cobas Taqman HCV v2.0 Test.
Linear range of quantification: 1.50E+01 IU/mL - 1.00E+08 IU/mL.

Omg!! This is the first time in over 37 years I have not had Hepatitis C! Genotype 1a, simeprevir and sofosbuvir 12 weeks. I'm so happy I feel like running through the streets yelling "I cleared! I cleared!! I'm well!!" I know it can come back and we have scheduled visits for blood draws going out to April, but I'm not going to think about that. I feel so good, it feels like someone gave me back the body I had 30 or 40 years ago!!!!!

That is great news and I am going to be right behind you, I have 3 more weeks to go until I am finished with Sol/Oly. The stuff is amazing! NO side effects. I only have had 1 viral load test at two weeks in and it was <15. Doc is not taking another one until Nov 6 , which is only 1 week away from EOT.
I also found out today that I am cured. GenotypeA. 12 Weeks of sovaldi,ribivirin and pegintron. It is an unbelieveable feeling after failing once before.
Since 1997 I thought I was going to get liver cancer.Now I am working on rebuilding.

Very good news. I understand the new thinking too. Instead of preparing to die we now think about living. I am so happy for you.
Thank you for all the congratulations!! This is a wonderful place to share good news and to receive comfort and support as well.
Bassetgirl, yes, I am cirrhotic, Child's Class A, genotype 1a.
I'm still having fatigue off and on, like today, but I know my body's been through a huge ordeal and I need to listen and rest, eat well. But the way I can tell I'm cured is I'm having thoughts like what do I want to be for Halloween? I think I'll paint that table a different color. I'm going to rearrange the living room. I'm going to the cafe and have a BLT and work on the jigsaw puzzle: thoughts that have never even occurred to me for years. That's how long I've been that sick. Wow. Even if I relapse, I've had this peek into what my life used to be and what I hope it can be again. October 21 I turn 60 years old. Best present I could have ever asked for is NOT DETECTED. :)
