8)had my post treatment 12 week labs Monday. Today I got the results and told I was cured. I still have testing again in April. Why don't I feel elated? I have made a big lifestyle change, exercise 4-6 times a week, no vino, I miss my good wine. I did have a taste of a beautiful Barolo, Italian of course but just a little sip. I take my vitamins and am solely removing other meds too. My diet has gone more towards organics, lower fat, rarely have I had red meat, I miss a good Rib Eye! I'm going to keep up the healthy lifestyle but may need to enjoy a few of my favorite treats from time to time. Cream Brûlée anyone?

Thank you all! I need your enthusiasm, I guess I'm just afraid it will come back. I don't know how so many endured multiple treatments.

I found the happy answer for you here:

Quoted from Mike's Post "In other words, if a SVR12 is acheived, 99.8% of these patients will remain virus free 24 weeks after treat has ended (SVR24).."

WOW! All this good news I am reading. Congratulations to all of you 12wk SVR's. I just finished my prescribed 12wks of Harvoni Sat Feb 28th. I was UDT at 4weeks. I called my gastro Doc to see if I needed to come in and get blood work. His nurse checked with him. He said not for 12 weeks. I have my calendar marked. I am trying not to think about it and just focus on my everyday stuff! I travel for bis a lot and am currently working on my itinerary for the next 3 months. I am sure the time will fly by. I will just stay busy! I cannot wait for the day I get my 12wk SVR results! I am sure I will see a lot more SVR's on here b4 I get mine. All the best!

Happy Congratulations to all the SVR12's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Workingonit and I will be right behind you

I had my 4 wks post Harvoni 12 wk treatment on March 25 (ended TX on Feb 25; Workingonit was Feb 28). I was Undetected at each lab - and am still undetected

; SVR 12 will be September 25. Looking forward to seeing all our SVR 12 CURED posts! However long it takes, we will make it!

Good luck and good health to all! ...Islandgirl

hepC53 congratz man you deserve it! Myself I am now 10 weeks into Harvoni treatment with ribavarin added at the beginnging of week 5.

Why aren't you elated , well my philosofy is when your life has been threatened, such as it has, it is hard to trust the cause is gone when so many of us are not actually sure where or when we came in contact with it, so we are on our guard. Simply put it is fear that drives us to such ends. Which is the same as what you said above.

If you read my spec at the bottom you will notice I have been through numerous treatments without resulting cure. So when I was told I was negative at week 4 I barely busted a smile, I prefer not to let myself get hopeful after so many upsets.

In your case however given the SVR 12 you have very little chance of HCV coming back. So you now hae to maintain healthy life habits well man what can I say move on and enjoy it to the fullest.

Long_Haul · « **Reply #26 on:** March 30, 2015, 11:23:00 am »

I too send along a big CONGRATULATIONS to all the SVR12 graduates. It is definitely an awesome thing to start to see the SVR results. It gives us all hope.
Hepc53, Deborah, and others. To see the cure numbers grow is making me HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.

Best wishes to all,

AL

Crazy to think that it's been almost a year since I learned I was infected. I was glad to learn that all my ailments were in fact NOT old age lurking. I secretly thought I was getting early on-set Alzheimer's and more! I'm still working towards better health, getting off all kinds of meds etc. I do miss a A good drink or a bold red wine paired with a porterhouse but so enjoy my new strength and stamina. It started with Zumba for exercise, heart health and moving meds through. The End result has been running a 5k, 25lbs less flab and muscle that say's "I'm sexy and I know it". LOL

Congrats to All of you !!!! The more time that passes since UD the better and better I feel. It is an all around stronger and healthier feeling. I literally have no headaches anymore and do not tire easily either. Mind is clearer than has been in many years it seems and never noticed how much so till now - haha
Still got the itchy flair ups though, even some rashes, but, that is only issue these days.
So carry on everyone to CureTown…...

CE · « **Reply #33 on:** March 31, 2015, 04:43:24 pm »

Congrats to YOU, Tess!! That is wonderful to hear! I am so happy for you. I pray we will ALL be in that same town! ☺️
