More than just congratulations Mel!!! and thank you for all the hope you have extended to those of us who are in the same boat with F4.

As you so aptly put it ON WITH LIFE AFTER HCV and let us encourage the others who are going through a tough time with cirrhosis and all the complications it brings

I have some uplifting news for the group! Liver health can improve dramatically after reaching SVR!
I met my liver specialist yesterday and had my blood work done in order to get the results of my 24 weeks post Harvoni treatment. During that visit I asked to get a fibroscan test. He told me that it was too early to think I might have had an improvement. I started Harvoni 1 year ago and did a 24 weeks treatment. I was SVR12 after the treatment. I believe I am still UND because of my elevated energy level. Anyway, at the beginning of my treatment, I received a fibroscan result of 28 which is well into cirrhosis. This test was repeated twice at that time (27 and 28). Yesterday, the same nurse did my test. At the end of the test, she appeared 'mixed up'. She said 'Wait a minute". She redid the test with the other device (she has a machine with 2 probes). 5 minutes later she said "you have a result of 13". She left the room and came back with the doctor because she had to tell someone! The doctor had never seen such a rapid improvement!
I don't know what to think anymore! Were the tests properly done? Was the machine in good working order? Both the beginning test 1 year ago and this test yesterday were duplicated.
I have read multiple articles talking about an improvement appearing in many post-hep patients. The article talked about a 5 years delay for the improvement. It is true that those follow up were done through the old methods and were done a minimum of times but with the fibroscan, tests can be done fast and easy. It seems improvements can happen much faster than previously believed!
Anyway, that is my uplifting news for today. If anyone has the opportunity to get a fibroscan after your cure please let us know if I am a real lucky bugger or if improvements are happening to all of us!

Mario, that's awesome.  Beto just had a similar result on his scan and and that was at about 5 weeks post treatment!  This is a great trend for post recovery.  Like Gnatty, I can't wait for Beto to see this.

Wow that is great news Mario!

I guess I will see if they will do a fibroscan next April when I go in for my annual visit. What I am most looking for though is an improvement in my platelet count as that would definately indicate a reduction in portal hypertension and a structural improvement to my liver.

Anyway thanks for the hopeful news and congrats again

Fantastic news Mario about such dramatic reduction in fibroscan score! Beto had a similar experience. Sounds like this is the real deal! Gives hope to all.

Thanks everyone! I spoke to my nurse and she let me off the hook and my status on her spreadsheet is now green instead of pink. LOL We discussed the post treatment possibility of how the liver might be producing antibodies for the disease that it no longer has. She said that it is a distinct possibility that many who clear the disease are actually experiencing a return to a robust immune system and that it is very possible that this also causes flu like symptoms in some individuals.

I will get another fibroscan in the new year after my liver has a chance to heal long term. It turns out there is very much interest in those who were f4 at treatment and clear the virus and how much of an improvement we experience over the long term. This is because the specialists are seeing something new with so many people at f4 clearing the disease. It is a whole new ball game and it merits close examination.

Like your jumping happy fish mugwump congrats and woo whoooooo!

Yes an interesting time for science of liver disease I was planning on asking to do a fibroscan next April when I go in to see the nurse I likely won't be seeing my doctor.

Our bodies will forever produce antibodies to hep c that is why we will always test positive on hep c antibody testing. But who knows if maybe the immune system has forgotten what it is like to be free of the virus I am sure mine probably has after 37 years of being infected.

Really as I started treatment 1 years and 2 days ago and was not detected in mid December my liver has been on vacation for almost a year now pretty cool.

Congrats again and now fish beware, Eric is coming for you with renewed health!

. . . Our bodies will forever produce antibodies to hep c that is why we will always test positive on hep c antibody testing. . . .
Presumably. Here's the odd thing: after TWO complete rounds of hep B vaccination (2000, 2003), my body, after testing positive for hep B antibodies, at some point went back to testing negative for hep B antibodies. (I was checked for A and B antibodies before starting Harvoni treatment -- I still tested positive for A antibodies, but not for B antibodies.) When I asked the nurse whether I should be vaccinated against hep B a third time, she asked the hepatologist, who said no, some people just can't seem to retain the ability to produce hep B antibodies.

Anybody know of anyone who reverted back to testing negative for hep C antibodies the way some of us do for hep B antibodies? I plan to ask the hepatologist, but I don't get to see him until January.

Wow interesting I wanted to know if I needed the measles vacine as I did not have the vaccine as a child because it did not exist yet.

I did remember having the measles. So I get tested and I do have measles antibodies from my bout with the measles and did not need the vaccine.

I haven't been tested since my hep A and hep B vaccinations to make sure that I had developed antibodies against them just assumed it was a given

Found this about hep b and the meaning of testing negative for antibodies after vaccination

Hey guys, just wanted to share the doctors official "cured" email.
I still cannot believe it's true and the hypochondriac in me is imagining all kinds of trouble.
I hope it'll settle in after a while!
I do feel great post-treatment. Appetite that I've never experienced before, energy, focus and just general well-being.
I am wealthy enough that I was able to afford to pay for both Sovaldi and Harvoni in the same year and I want to pass on this miracle after I get 24 Weeks SVR.
I would love to sponsor at least 12 weeks of someone who is not fortunate enough to afford it.

Wow, Herrjoel, it's terrific that not only are you cured, but also that you are making such an extraordinary offer! Please tell the hypochondriac in you that your generosity has given your immune system such a boost that the "bad guys" have no chance to make inroads.

P.S. Watch that appetite! I've gained a few pounds post-Tx, and they are proving very difficult to get rid of.

Hey guys, just wanted to share the doctors official "cured" email.
I still cannot believe it's true and the hypochondriac in me is imagining all kinds of trouble.
I hope it'll settle in after a while!
I do feel great post-treatment. Appetite that I've never experienced before, energy, focus and just general well-being.
I am wealthy enough that I was able to afford to pay for both Sovaldi and Harvoni in the same year and I want to pass on this miracle after I get 24 Weeks SVR.
I would love to sponsor at least 12 weeks of someone who is not fortunate enough to afford it.

Congrats I am so happy for you. Are you serious about helping out with someone elses treatment? If so feel free to PM me. I

Congratulations

Herrjoel, Mugwump, Corey and everyone else that's cleared the virus. Hopefully everyone else, that's on the board and treating, will be able to post SVR's.

Like Mugwump, I recieved my SVR 24 on the 20th. From here on out, I might make Nov. 20th my personal holiday.  :)

Hey Gnatty,  if Tommy can't get the gator thing through... they are quite picky about bringing animals and vegetation over here aka invasive species (which we all have had personal experience with :) we can have coconuts, mango, luau meats, halpia, and all kinds of local fare... lomi lomi salmon, etc... after we do an awesome hike and some sunning at some of the most stunning beaches on earth I happen to know about ...and oh yea, the documentary!!! ...The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses  8)

There is lots of wonderful news being shared on this thread. Congratulations to everyone, and most especially Mel who has been a long time Forum Member and example of compassion and fortitude.

Herrjoel, your generous offer caught my eye. It sounds like an amazing offer, but we have to be careful on the Forum, it can become uncomfortable when money is exchanged. I can see so many potential complications that can arise. May I suggest that instead of making an individual offer, you work with the Patient Advocate Foundation http://www.patientadvocate.org/ or Patient Access Network http://www.panfoundation.org/ or the Bonnie Morgan Foundation for Hep C http://www.notwithoutafight.org/. Agencies such as these have ways to make money go a lot further since they can negotiate with pharma, etc. Plus you would get a tax deduction.

As for those inclined to accept an offer such as this, please tread carefully. We can't verify these offers, and we need to be hyper-aware of scams and other deals that seem "too good to be true." Contact the links listed above if you need help getting medication.

Thanks Lynn

By this time next year, this board will probably be experiencing multiple SVR posts on a daily basis. So much so that this site might need its own dedicated server to handle all the traffic and posts. Wouldn't that be cool.

 Now that the doctors have the Hep C by the throat with harvoni and scientists now having a base drug on which to improve on and manipulate and new drugs coming to market, I see next year being the big year as far as cures, of all genotypes, go. I also see the relapsers being retreated and hopefully coming back and posting their final SVR's. Wouldn't that be cool?!

Eventually, the site might want to start a dedicated thread for "Retreated Relapsers" so that the people on here, that relased and others, can come back and post their good news stories. It's kind of hard Not to Think of them, when posting an SVR 4, 12 & 24.

I think most of us, who were cures by the harvoni and had a SVR, are going to remember our SVR dates for the rest of our lives. How can we not. It's deffinitly a milestone date, especially for those of us who are multiple relapsed retreaters and have been living with this for decades.

Even though every day is a day of celebration from here on out, I think I'm go to take November 20 as a day of celebration for myself. This way I have a legitimate excuse to take a day off work. I also like the fact that it's the week before Thanksgiving.

Bree

I have No Doubt, that since you made SVR6, you Will make SVR12 and 24 if you decide to do the 24 week test.  ;) In your case and a few others, it's just a matter of waiting to get the news.

Hi all I was preparing an elaborate speech to scream out that I also have reached SVR 24 but then I flipped a switch and my letter body disappeared into cyberspace! So there it is SVR 24 for Scott.
  My liver enzymes are still in the 50's so my doc has scheduled blood work for three months from now and I'm attaching a pic of the REQ form for those who know what it all means, and please if you do know please educate me! However it seems they won't let me insert from my own desktop, and photobucket is down at the moment so I'll get back with that.

Meantime I am very happy the virus is finally gone!

I don't know what to say other than another than it is great to see others get the monkey off their back!  I feel like going fishn' Trouble is, cutting a hole in the ice big enough with a chain saw to get in a good fly cast where I like to fish can be a little difficult.

Scott my enzymes were up and bilirubin was up over 21 at eot and didn't go down till after 24 weeks post tx.

TOO MUCH LOOKING IN THE MIRROR for jaundice ensued and the warts started to show up on my worry glands!

Cirrhosis is a PITA and we are all going to respond and heal differently.

Anyway when you get into the St Lawrence I hope you have good water quality. What they did in Montreal should have flushed well north by now, you would think! And the brown tea colour from all the deciduous river flushed tannis that the water north of Montreal is famous for should be reduced and you might have more than the normal 5-6 feet of vision. If you are diving north of Montreal watch out for all the used cars and snow mobiles on the bottom LOL

Keep your eyes peeled for elvers moving down, there should be some moving out of the main streams by now. If I were to fish in the Lower St Lawrence this time of year I would not try conventional methods, instead an imitation of the current food source would be more effective at the river mouths as the ice clears.

I gather you will be diving where there is less current at the opening past Montreal rapids?
Interesting area that I have always wanted to explore.

Cheers
Eric

No worries for me Mugwump the St.Lawrence runs west to east and we go west from Montreal to dive where the shipwrecks and long abandoned locks are submerged.. I'm expecting vis about 20 to 30 ft.


Whatever was dumped in has most certainly long since flushed away. It was only 25 years ago that all city waste water was re-directed to the water treatment facilities and yet nobody used to complain back then when billions of litres a year would float downstream!, So the project comes along and says well we are going to have to dump X amount of waste into the seaway for X amount not exceeding 7 days and everyone hears about it! Also the dumping lasted three days less than originally expected with significantly less raw sewage infiltration.

Cool! So I guess you will be going in off L'lle Perrot, up in the fresh water country with no tides. The area that fascinates me the most is down past Quebec City around Saint Anne de Beaupre where the aquatic life is different. I always think of Quebec City as being north by east of Montreal as the crow flies, but maybe crows in Quebec fly a little differently. AARFF
Out here in Victoria we are a little behind the times and rely too heavily upon the much vaunted "theory of dilution to take care of our effluents.


I was pulling your leg about Montreal[size=78%],[/size] ;)


Have a great dive!
Eric

Congrats patience
I have not

SVR12 is 99.8% likely not to relapse and most doctors are calling SVR12 cured!

SVR24 is just icing on the cake.

They say the only way to again to have a viral load is to get reinfected the odds of relapse are nil

Thanks Lynn and Bree. My Gastro did say if I was undetected at 24weeks it would be as if I never had been infected. Kinda liked hearing that! Hope he's right.

So, having always been a huge fan of icing, Im going to eat lots of cake!

Just got my 24 week post Harvoni blood work results.  SVR.  Great news.  I'm enrolled in a 5 year U of Penn clinical study tracking fibrosis.  I'll be getting a Fibroscan in June to establish baseline.  Do not give up as this disease is on it's way to being eradicated.
1. 4wk - 12 wk EOT VL status    =   SVR
2. Treatment duration   =   24 weeks Harvoni only -  2/23/15 to 8/10/15
3. tx naive or experienced 
•   Interferon/Ribavirin  -  2003 timeframe  -  unsuccessful, taken off treatment due to no viral load reduction coupled with anemia, low platelet count, low WBC count
•   Solvadi/Olysio combo.  -  spring 2014  -  12 week couse -  SVR  all during therapy, relapsed 12 weeks after treatment
4. Genotype (1a or 1b)  =  1a
5. F1-F4 fibrosis status (date)  =  unknown, will be getting Fibroscan in June, enrolled in 5 year University of Penn study for fibrosis tracking.
6. Initial VL (date)  =  6 million units

I WON"T MESS WITH THE FONTS BUT PATIENCE AND CHINO YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I am so glad that I did't do the S/O myself. I do not know if I could have handled another failure!


I should be getting the one year results early in May and hopefully the determination that my cirrhosis is under control and not a concern. I just had two ultrasound sonogram checkups in a period of two months so if there are bile duct and problems with blood flow I will be informed. No sign of ascites on the first one.


It is really encouraging that us 24 weekers are seeing cures. If there is an increased risk of damage during treatment by going the 24 week route the risk certainly seems worth it, considering that many of us were starting to knock on heavens door!


PS my intention starting this thread was so that both the 12 and 24 week treatment duration individuals can share the joy of reaching the 6 month SVR milestone. 


Perhaps it might be a good idea to concatenate the treatment results for all drugs and I should have title the thread 24 week SVR check in. Perhaps a moderator can change it??? 


Time to study up Canarios again because my feet are shuffling in a happy dance seeing more make it out of this nightmare of a disease.

I have some uplifting news for the group! Liver health can improve dramatically after reaching SVR!
I met my liver specialist yesterday and had my blood work done in order to get the results of my 24 weeks post Harvoni treatment. During that visit I asked to get a fibroscan test. He told me that it was too early to think I might have had an improvement. I started Harvoni 1 year ago and did a 24 weeks treatment. I was SVR12 after the treatment. I believe I am still UND because of my elevated energy level. Anyway, at the beginning of my treatment, I received a fibroscan result of 28 which is well into cirrhosis. This test was repeated twice at that time (27 and 28). Yesterday, the same nurse did my test. At the end of the test, she appeared 'mixed up'. She said 'Wait a minute". She redid the test with the other device (she has a machine with 2 probes). 5 minutes later she said "you have a result of 13". She left the room and came back with the doctor because she had to tell someone! The doctor had never seen such a rapid improvement!
I don't know what to think anymore! Were the tests properly done? Was the machine in good working order? Both the beginning test 1 year ago and this test yesterday were duplicated.
I have read multiple articles talking about an improvement appearing in many post-hep patients. The article talked about a 5 years delay for the improvement. It is true that those follow up were done through the old methods and were done a minimum of times but with the fibroscan, tests can be done fast and easy. It seems improvements can happen much faster than previously believed!
Anyway, that is my uplifting news for today. If anyone has the opportunity to get a fibroscan after your cure please let us know if I am a real lucky bugger or if improvements are happening to all of us!

Mario,
I don't know the answer to your question but I am enrolled in a 5 year U of Penn study to track fibrosis with those who cleared Hep C but have some degree of cirrhosis.  My base line blood work and initial Fibroscan will be performed in June.  I will keep posting with info. & results.

I've been dealing with this dreaded disease since 1973.  I am finally free of Hep C after a 24 week course of treatment with Harvoni.  I had two prior relapses on different treatments.  My 24 week post treatment HCV was undetected and I knew it would be.  My hepatologist is one of the best in the U.S. and is involved in most of the clinical research studies.  When I saw him in January he was optimistic that Hep C would be eradicated.  He enrolled me in two clinical studies with my approval.  The first is the development of a more precise and thorough one to replace the current AFP tumor marker test.  The second is a 5 year clinical study involving those who cleared Hep C with some degree of fibrosis.  They are currently researching drugs to repair a damaged liver from Hep C.  To all of those who have Hep C, hang in there.

 That's fab Lynn... your ALT and AST are great.  not sure what the AFT is about.  My platelets are still low, that's the only thing out of whack as far as I know.  On March 14 they are 123 ... in Dec. was 141 and in Nov. was 88, seem to fluctuate in that range.  Anyway, seems like we are on the mend!

AFP or Alpha-fetoprotein is used as a tumor marker to help detect and diagnose cancers of the liver along with abdominal ultrasound. As I have cirrhosis and am at increased risk of liver cancer I have this blood test along with all the usual tests.

My old test from 2013 was 26.6 with 0 to 8.3 being normal so this is the first time I have been this close to normal AFP in years same for the platelet count which had been in the 80 to 90 range.

Yep our numbers are heading in the right direction :)

Yes, our support system practically has us-all joined at the hip(s)--picture THAT! It seems almost solipsistic to be congratulating everyone -- we're ALL going to be UND!
   I took the labs last Wed. and was going to call tomorrow, since the VL takes >= 3 business days, but with you-all asking, I just called: see the updated sig. file below. What with the reference ranges for the two different labs (hepatologist and PCP), there are barely enough characters left for the results of the FibroScan I'll take in late June.

Thanks, Scout. Believe it or not, when the results email appeared in my inbox a few minutes after I phoned, my heart didn't go crazy while I was opening the attachment. Also, my bp readings have been pretty darn good lately!

Tommy, another gem from you (ex-heppies). -not sure this straight-laced, nerdy classical musician ever qualified for hippiedom, but heppiedom yep definitely.

Add Beto to the cure list!  Sweet!  ALT 19 AST 18 ALP 50 HCV UNDETECTED!!!!

To all the newbies sweating bullets over results; this is your future.

To all the folks fighting for meds and to those who have had the misfortune of a relapse...you will see cure, and the remainder of us will not rest until we are all free.

Congrats to all of those who have made it all the way to 24 and beyond.  let us all keep up the fight for our hepper brothers and sisters. 

If I had not been able to get these meds for another few years I believe it would have been too late.  The four or five years prior to Harvoni treatment I had really started to go down, but was in such denial and disassociation I had convinced myself that I was OK.  I was not. 

Party at Bree's!!!

 Way to go Beto! I can almost see the grin on Your face as I read Your post ;D El Rey del Mundo, 8) Damn , I had to dim the contrast on My screen to finish reading it!
 Still waiting on the call to go pick up My Lab orders. I found out that only the main nurse that was there when I started Tx. is left. One left, one went on maternity leave, and the one left is covered up deep. Doesn't look like the temp. is doing very good. Oh well , it's out of My control yet again! ::) :o :-X It ain't like it's My first, second, or third rodeo >:(
  Happy to read the good news there Big Boy! Congratulations and salutations!

I have been lurking for quite some time and I feel like I "know" so many of those that help with advice, information and lots of empathy. Thanks to all those who post their experiences - it has been an invaluable resource to me.

Hi Kim,

Thank you for the kind welcome.

I did receive some results yesterday and I am happy but slightly disappointed. The nurse told me it was undetected but when I pushed for exact numbers, I was told it read < 12 which equals zero to them. Not so much from my research....

So now I wait for the next test in June. Sigh.

I signed one of my posts as "Kim in the Boreal" thinking of you. :)

On treatment testing means little we have had a few here who were weakly detected at end of treatment but still went on to acheive SVR. The only test that matters is the 12 week post test. On treatment testing really survers no propose except to reassure the patient and can cause unnessary stress when the person does not see a not detected result on treatment.

Everyone sees significant reductions in viral load to not detected on treatment the only test you want to see it 12 weeks post not detected any prior viral load test is just noise.

You will be cured believe it!

Hi Lynn,

Thank you! I needed that.  :)

I have noticed that most who had a < 12 or < 15 did go onto SVR 12 so it helps a lot to read everyone's posts.

I will post in the right place next time.  :)

6 months post treatment I am still undetectable, the Dr. said I am considered cured. Harvoni treatment was a breeze, hardly even knew I was taking it. Past treatments with interferon and ribaviron nearly killed me. I am so thankful for this new treatment and hope anyone with HepC has the opportunity to try it. I was on 3 different treatment plans in the last 15 years, nothing worked after months and months on the awful treatment plans of the past .

5th week labs undetected

It was very heartening to hear about your success with Harvoni. I started on Harvoni 8 days ago and I am still having some minor side effects: mild headaches some days, light-headedness, some chills and fevers at night, but overall it is not bad. I waited for almost a year to get approved for the Harvoni and I am hoping that it works well for me. I have COPD and Rheumatoid arthritis, so I think some of the side effects may be from that as opposed to Harvoni. I admit that I am having a hard time drinking a lot of water, but am going to stick with it. I was starting to feel tired and fatigued before the Harvoni due to Hep C being in my body for many, many years unbeknownst to me. Thank God I finally got approved. Thanks for the upbeat prognosis and I hope I have the same luck.

Hi Shawreb and welcome

If it helps at all it doesn't necessarily have to be water just fluids. So juice and even ice tea all add up to fluid intake. Even though tea has caffeine the diuretic effect is off set by the volume in vs out.

Good luck to you on treatment
