I'm Cured
« on: April 29, 2016, 01:00:30 pm »
Just wanted to share that I received the results of my 12 weeks post treatment blood work (after 24 weeks on Harvoni)!

I am CURED! After living with this virus hanging over my head for 27 years, I am finally free!

I hope this encourages any of you retreats out there. I was so afraid Harvoni wouldn't work for me, but it did.
