GOOD NEWS! SVR12!
Dear Fellow Dragon Slayers—The Dragon is Dead!
I wanted to let you all know that I got "THE CALL" (earlier than they told me) from gastroenterology a few minutes ago, and my 12 week EOT HCV RNA QN test came back UNDETECTABLE! I am cured—no further follow-up needed (her exact words). They are not going to do a 24 week follow-up test.
I did the triple Tx Sovaldi/Interferon/Ribavirin for 12 weeks from Feb. 7 until May1. I was UND during the whole Tx, and at 4 weeks EOT. My Ribavirin dosage was 1,000 a day the first month, reduced to 600 the second month (after 2 days off, then 2 days at 200 after an ER visit) then up to 800 the third month.
I want to thank all of you who have been such a wonderful support for me through all of this—I don't know what I would have done without all of your cheering and knowledge. I will post a scan of the report after I pick it up tomorrow for you all to see.

Thank you for all the good wishes—and right back at you! I hope to be seeing more good news from you all in the near future as this first graduating class of Sovaldi completes it's Tx, and gets the 12 week EOT results. I have changed my photo to a dragon slayer. Also if you go to my profile page, I have posted a scan of my LAST HCV RNA QN Test! It just makes it all the more real for me now to share it with you. Now for the 1st time in 30+ years, my liver can repair itself and be healthy. So keep on fighting fellow Slayers!
