Get Philly,  Yes I am. 1 week on I am still blown away.
Life's little normal stresses (work) are still there but I feel a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I'm thinking it's going to be a good month before the stress and tension levels subsides and and I get my mental strength and confidence back.
Here's to me,  you and everyone else on here who have managed to fight this from beginning to end.

Hey Tomcat,
So happy to hear this news! Congratulations! One less thing to worry about...
I am one day away from completing my Sov/Rib treatment.
I have Hep C. Genotype 3. After the first bloodwork my doctor said my VL was down to below 15.
Should I go to get my bloodwork done immediately? When can I have a celebrating gin and tonic? :)
Best of luck to your in the future. Have a life full of happiness and love!
