Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
I'm SVR 12 and "considered" a treatment success!
Thank you Jannsen, Thank you Gilead. Thank you Lab chemists, Thank you Dr.s and nurses.
Thank you to my loving partner who put me on his medical benefits plan.
45 years of HCV, failed IFN treatments, Cirrhosis but hey I made it!

If it were me, I'd treat myself to a double vanilla latte.
But I'd prolly do that anyways.
:-)
It's beyond a dream come true, isn't it.
Your avie says it all.
Three more months and your number will be 24. Hope to see mine change to that in a couple weeks.
I'd make that latte a triple and enjoy it with a root beer float back!! :-P
i remember when I reached SVR @ 4 weeks with Harvoni in the trial, they told me that most likely i wouldn't have to stay on it for the full 24 weeks and that it's a good chance that we will stop you at SVR 12 and I said "YES!!!"
Sure enough @ week 12 I was still undie! Nada! ZERO! and it was like someone just took the weight of the world off my shoulders...It was indescribably liberating...
And some of the folks who have been here for some time know what I went through... So once again Congrats to being SVR12 K!
It's only going to get better, faster, cheaper!
