treated and now virus free

I was a non responder 10 years ago with interferon.  Started treatment again December of '07, treated for 48 weeks with riba and interferon and am now 6 months post treatment free of the virus.  My doctors didn't want me to do the therapy because they didn't think I was a good candidate.  I did it and am now virus free.  Just wanted to post a little optimism here.  Just found out two days ago and am feeling pretty great.
