I am sorry to hear you have Hep C back. I read t in other sites that reaching SVR is not a cure but remisson. Hope they are WRONG..

I can only imagine how you feel right now after beating this virus and now hearing you have it again. As others stated, the new treatments will be easier on you and hopefully very soon, you will be Hep C free again.
Best wishes,

I guess this is as good a time as any to remind everyone that achieving SVR is no guarantee that you can not contract Hep C again. There is no vaccine against Hep C.  Those reaching SVR should not have a false sense of security that they can never be reinfected (if re-exposed). I'm sure most know this already but it doesn't hurt to put it out there.
