That is great news, Redhead!
     Continue the fight for 7 more weeks and you should be able to put this behind you. One of the benefits of being on this site is that there are many good people who are going through the same battle as you. We all feel uplifted when one of us can shake off this pest.
    Some of us have had results like your's only to find out that the pest came back. In my case it took 10 years, 3 treatments, two denials, and 52 weeks SVR. Even now I feel a little uncomfortable saying cured.  Six months after my last treatment I got the news it returned. But now 52 wks SVR, it's gone.
    So treat yourself special and show yourself as much compassion as you can handle. Try to relieve stress as best you can. Do what ever works best for you. No one has your solution. Keep going forward and help others where you can. Just some of my experience with it.

   Enjoy the life you have,
           Rick

Haven't been on here for quite awhile but decided a post on a success full battle will give others the strength to make it through txt no matter how bad you feel. I made it through 24 wks of Solvaldi, Riba and Diklenza, Sides were awfull. 12 weeks after txt bloodwork SVR! Physically I don't feel all that different but that has to do with neck and back problems I've been dealing with for years. Hang in there everybody things will get better.

Liver function good
Sovaldi
Ribavirin
