A Little Encouragement

Just thougt I'd post that after 18 weeks of Tx I am SVR! I'm 65 with geno type 1b and started with a vl of over 10,000,000. Stage 3 bridging cirrhosis.
I think it's important that those of us who are successful share so everyone doesn't get totally overwhelmed with all the bad things that can happen, like I was when I first started looking. Yes, bad things can happen, but so can good things and being a glass 1/2 full kinda gal I wanted to add this post for some balance.
I hope you can find this helpful on your journey.

Karen
