I'm cured.

I just got my 12 week after treatment viral load results: SVR!!!!!! I'm cured!!!!! I'm crying as I type this.

Gender:female
genotype 1a
compensated cirrhosis
treatment: 12 weeks Sovaldi/Olysio
VL at start  2 million

Comments: blood platelets have been around 60 since last spring, they are up to 72 as of yesterdays blood work. I am hoping that my liver function will continue to improve over time.

I posted this on Nan's SVR/Relapse thread as well.

Congratulations! Your name reminds me a few years back. My friend calls and says, I just got a ten month old basset that came from an abusive home. Naturally she wanted money. I traded her seventy banana trees. Started with eleven that season. Anyways I dug, loaded them on my truck. Traded and kept him three weeks till a phone call ended with a woman I knew her dad, knocked on my door. She just lost her baby and he got such a wonderful home. I can still see him sniffing everything over and over again. Hats off to you and him for new beginnings!                     GoGG

WOW!!!!!    That's 2 SVRs in 1 day.
What fabulous news and so very happy for you.
Kinda feels like you've been given a new lease on life without the burden
of disease.  Well, you may even reverse some of the damage done and 1
day return to the "Days of Innocence".  Wouldn't that be a blast!
Seriously, couldn't be happier for you.
Congrats and cherish your new life.

Oh goody. I am beside myself seeing these two SVR's one after another. This is such good news - for you and for all of us fighting this thing. I'm also 1a with cirrhosis and on week 5 of S/O.
I am glad you posted here and didn't only post on the thread. The thread is a good thing and one day I picture myself adding my name also. But for me it is an even better thing to see your announcement here broadcast to the world, and to me. :)

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Time to celebrate by booking a two week vacation to the Bahamas. Imagine lying on the beach at midnight, a soft breeze blowing your hair, the water caressing your toes.

If you fall asleep, hopefully in the morning you'll be awakened by a lifeguard who is also a male model willing to show you around town. Please let us know how your vacation went when you get back...
