GREAT NEWS!! CLEAR AFTER 8 WKS!!!!!

Hi all,
I wanted to share the good news.  Had my 4 wk check up today with the Dr. and my VL is 0!!!!
He feeling that I am tolerating treatment well.  The Prozac really helped me the last few weeks. I am not showing signs of Anemia yet... at the low end of the range.
I am very pleased.  My only problem is my raspy voice, and slight cough.  Other then this doing very well!
Yeh!!

You are on track for a good outcome.  I had the cough side effect for riba throughout Tx.  Looking good.

Hey, that's really great news!  Congratulations!  I had that raspy voice and annoying cough all the way through tx - it went away pretty fast once I finished with the meds.  Also glad to hear the Prozac is working for you.  You're doing really well, good on you!
