Mel, Lynn, and Kate. Thank you so much. It still doesn't seem real. I was briefly undetected for a week when I did the triple combo until I had to stop treatment. That was one of the roughest things I ever did in my life, (Kate, you know). This time I feel fine and am over a third of the way to EOT. My wife was jumping up and down last night, we are both psyched.

It is great to know the treatments are working! What a great day!

Best wishes,

Thanks Islandgirl! Just came back from my GI Doc and he is truly excited for me as well. We are looking at testing Viral Load every 4 weeks until SVR4, them we go to SVR12 and SVR24.  The number he really is interested in is SVR24 for obvious reasons.  I was in the first trials he did and suffered through 5 shots of Interferon a week for 48 weeks with no response.  He likes what the sees ans is genuinely excited for me( I was his Computer Support person for 16 years).

Best wishes,
