I WAS GT 1B. had HCV since around 1966... Diagnosed in 2003. Was Interferon ineligible because of RA and RA meds. Was warehoused for 11 years. Last year I did a clinical trial witgh Riba and failed.

Today I am HCV FREE on SOVALDI & OLYSIO!!!

I feel absolutely GREAT emotionally and physically. A huge weight is lifted.

I wish it for EVERY single one of you here!!!

Hearing those words has got to be the best! Congratulations!

Great News WarriorGal I am so proud of you you did it I can just jump up and down that is what call good news!

We have waited for this day for a long time and went through your apprehension and side effects with you. You were one of the S&O trailblazers paving the way for others and vocal about how you were feeling to give others the benefit of your experience. And, even after being cured at SVR4, you continued to share your life and knowledge.

Get out your undies, girlfriend - I see dancing in your future!


Love,

Excellent news. I am very happy for you WG. I took my last two pills today and hope to have the same wonderful news in Oct.

THANK YOU ALL!!! I am hoping and praying the same for every single person with HCV... especially all here who have been my friend through thick and thin, sheering me on and listening to me KVETCH!

Marilyn and Kramer are due next!!

I've been holding my breath and praying for this great report from you.Congratulations!! Oh my gosh!!

Thanks for sharing your journey, side effects, fears, wisdom & all things related to our struggles with HCV. I am so very happy for you WG!!! Wish the real world results were 100% instead of 90% but Solvadi is definitely a game changer. Live, love, laugh. Enjoy life.
