Sustained Virological Response (SVR) After Harvoni
« on: March 04, 2016, 05:39:46 am »
Six months after completing a 12 week course of Harvoni I can happily report that in my latest blood test the virus remains undetectable. According to my Hep C doc, I can now safely say that I am cured after 30+ years.

Having ultrasound every 6 months to chart progress of very mild cirrhosis. Hopefully, my liver will regenerate and cure itself.

I consider myself one of the fortunate ones. Harvoni was  :)my miracle cure.

This is my final posting. Best of luck to you all.  :)
It is not enough I should win. Others should lose.
