Hey kickinhepc,
        Way to KICK IT! Actually it's a hell of a way to kick it. I'm forever grateful I didn't have to endure that interferon or ribavirin. I'm glad you are CURED! What great news to enjoy through the Holiday season, and forever after! Be Well.

Hi Kickinhepc,

I just wanted to double check after doing the math. Are you 77 years old? It doesn't matter if you are; but it sure attests to the advances in Hep-C treatment and the reduction of adverse side effects.

Best wishes, Mike

Bucky,
              good news to you!! and i really feel these days like beast says we will all reach svr. there are toooo many new choices. like 31 flavors, or m@m varieties. for me it just feels good to have good sense back, and not feel like a wet dog hiding under a porch in the riba rain.
