WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR YOU, A!!!  Keep a positive attitude -- this medication is your friend, not your foe (just a foe for all those little viroids!!) Getting out from under the black cloud of HCV is a wonderful thing and you will get there, just take it one day at a time and before you know it, you will be there!

Keep us posted and remember......... The future is bright! FT
