You must be younger - I think it makes a big difference but then again, I am not a professional, but I am happy for you>>>

I started my 7th week today, so I am 3 weeks behind you. It has not been bad for me either. Tonight is my 7th shot.

A 12 wk tx sounds like nirvana to me. Even a 24 wk tx would have been easy compared to the 57 wks of ifn/riba & then the torture of Incivek I've already done with no success.

An adventure to renewed health. Here's to SVR! Congrats. You are now counting down to the end of tx & the beginning of SVR! Yay

I wouldn't call my 24 weeks an adventure either. It was more like a six month hangover with a flu and PMS. But it built some character along with a second butt-hole ;-)

Congratulations...almost done!

Good luck on your treatment, and I hope you are SVR.

Treatment for me was 48 weeks of pure hell. To say it was an adventure is like saying Steve Martin practices gentle dentistry:

I hope you are SVR
