Congratulations on the SVR!  This is great news as you have helped so many with their battles throughout the years, including me.  You are a true inspiration to all of us.  I hope that you will stay in touch with all of us and update us on your new Hep C free life and adventure.  I will continue to look for you as I am going to start my own journey with 24 weeks of Harvoni in the near future (praying and hoping that 3rd time is the charm!).

Best,

Jeff

Hallelujah Hector, congratulations...long road that you traveled and am very happy for you, couldn't happen to a better person. Glad you finally made it. I myself have two more weeks before I know if I'm SVR.

Best to you my friend,

OMG I'm so happy for you. Thank you for talking sense into all of us at one time or another, talking us down from a freakout and just being the all-knowledgable one we all rely on. Carry on and live that Life to the fullest. Happy trails.

Howie, This is absolutely wonderful music to our ears!  I'm so happpppy for you and so many others who have benefited from knowing you on this journey, who were able to endure this miserable virus and somehow find a way to a cure.

For all you do for others, sharing your support and knowledge has been a major help to me in somehow finding a way to get through it all --and I thank you.  SunRU

It might seem, crazy what I'm about to say

Sunshine she's here, you can take a break

I'm a hot air ballon that could go to space

With this air , like I don't care baby by the way

Because I'm happy

if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

if you feel like happiness is the truth

Because I'm soooooo happy for you : )

That's great, Hector. Couldn't happen to a nicer and more deserving person. Maybe now you can enjoy somewhat normal "golden years".
