Just got through talking to trial nurse. she says i was in arm 3, which means i was on the boceprevil for 48 weeks. wants me to do follow-up, which i will be paid for each visit. she also says that it should be available soon 2011. i am doing very good now, health is good. all aches and pains for the most part have ceased to be. wishing all of you old and new merry xmas and a happy new year.s

Great to see that you are doing well, and thanks for coming to lend encouragement to all those looking forward to the release of boce -- 48 weeks is a long trial, and it's wonderful to hear that all is fine with you.  Hey, it'll be a nice change of pace to get paid for going to see the doctor and not the other way around!  Best wishes.

Congratulations and it is good to hear that you are doing well and that it worked for you (I assume you are SVR). I am currently in week 30 of boceprevir and soc anemia study and the good news is appreciated and encouraging. Boceprevir seems to have worked well for many on this forum.
Happy Holidays,
Dave

Good deal, and congratulations again for a job well done! Last you posted in here, you’d gotten laid off; any progress finding a new job?

Merry Christmas to you too; take care of yourself,

Bill
