Thank you all

Tonight at 9:00 pm I will take the last three pills of
ribavirine. I had my last shot last Thursday and just received
my viral load at week 48 which came back undetectable.
This is the third time during treatment, I got the same
result at week 12, and week 24 before.
I just would like to thank every and each one of you.
You are my family. You see, we are all different in
race, religion, color and nationality but this disease
made us one group. I smiled with your good news, I cried
with your bad news and hoped for every one to reach his or
her goal no matter what your background is.
I am writing this to thank you all and to apologize if I
ever was rough or tough in my discussion (fatboy, do you
hear me?).
Wish me luck in my next PCR's.

You are a true treatment success story.  Congratulations for going the full course, clearing this virus and taking care of what needed to be done for yourself, and your loved ones.

I remember when I first starting coming on this forum and reading that others were long into their treatment (including you) I thought, 'how in the world will I ever get all this treatment time to pass quickly and keep my head above water with all this medicine and side effects'?  How will I ever be able to do this? How can I function through this whole deal?

Well, I'm into 21 weeks of treatment and almost half way through it, heading towards that BIG 48 weeks. You, and others who have finished treatment and cleared are a HUGE encouragement and give everyone who is working their way to the finish line, great HOPE.

Thank you, dirac.  I truly wish you the best now during this joyous occasion, and always !

Congratulations on making it through treatment!

Apart from treating the disease, I think that for the majority of us that experience treatment as an ordeal, treatment itself changes our lives - hopefully for the better. You know, more tolerant, more understanding of the handicaps people have, compassion for the sick, and so on, and also willing to reach out that helping or supporting hand where we wouldn't likely do so in the past.

I pray for your quick recovery from treatment and for you being cured.

I can't recall any posting that was rough or tough. I wish you well and am genuinely happy for you!
