It feels so terrific to see those kind of numbers. I've had Hep C around 40 years also and was at 2.5 mil but after 13 weeks of S/O am now undetected. Of course it's the 12 weeks after that matters, but at the same time for me it was like at least it is working and if everything is so good now it will probably stay this way. So, this is wonderful news!

DOUBLE HOORAY!!!

I am so happy for you Lynn! That's the best news of the day :) It's so nice to see the UD, for me I felt like my poor sick liver was at least getting a break from Hep C so no matter what, it's a few weeks of clean and I am eating the best I can to keep it that way and help promote a little healing.

I like you am stuck with Express Scripts because that's what available through my employer. I am sure lawsuits will be coming, they have now chosen to make a deal with AbbieVie based on money not results. I am really thankful I already started my treatment with Harvoni and like you have 12 weeks approved although the script says 24 weeks. I will take what I can get and go from there because I have no other options. Heck by next summer if I need to start all over again then I may have more choices besides the Vie Pak; one can only hope.

Hang in there Sister and pray this time does the trick for you (and me too)

Morning Brad.
I finish up S/O treatment on January 16 and so will wait a week for my first viral load test. For some reason, the Peter, Paul and Mary song "Blowing in the Wind" just popped into my mind -- the answer my friends is blowing in the wind...

Lynn, looking good! It's exciting isn't it?

yup so far so good like you said poor liver is getting a rest now.

Tempered hope tho as I relapsed on Sovaldi Olysio but only treated for 12 weeks and 24 probably would have been better

ahh hindsight

But yes good sign hoping I have SVR 12 on July 28 2015

Great news! The best Christmas gift ever! Merry Christmas holidays all!

I'm on week five of Harvoni and believe my blood tests show significant improvement, but not confident because my doctors are no longer with the practice and I have yet to speak to or see a new one. Keeping my stress level down, so will no go into gory details.

Still believe I have a bright future and wish the same for all here and your loved ones.
