My story is similar to copyman's except stopped at 28 wks from boceprevir (randomized out). UD at 12 wks. post followup. Thanks for your post. It's like never getting tired of hearing how smart your kids are. You don't get tired of encouraging words and appreciate them. Thanks.
Great to hear you reached SVR! Wish you well.
Best of luck!

That is wonderful news. I find out next month, 6 months post TX, if I am UND. TX was horrific but it is always good to come back and tell others that it's doable and things get better. How ya feeling now? I feel a little better every week. I didn't really know how bad I was until I started to feel good again. How wonderful it is to feel joy and happiness again.
For those of you going through TX hang in there this stuff really messes with your mind and body. Time does fly by when you are in a fog though.
Congrats again

Congratulations to you.

Great news !! I agree that TX works and all the suffering through TX is worth it. I also just got some good news a few days ago, I'm UNDE 12 weeks post. I was in the Telaprevir study. I was in the one where everyone got the real drug for 12 weeks along with SOC then just SOC drugs until 24 or 48 weeks. I was randomized to 48 weeks but decided to stop at 33 weeks. I started a tapering down process around week 29. I did my own pcr's at week 3,8,12,16 & 24 and all came back UNDE. I had all intentions of stopping at 24 weeks knowing that I would have as much as 48 weeks for SVR being unde at 3 weeks. I added the extra weeks for good measure. Glad I did.
Anyway good news and time for you to go enjoy life. You definately deserve it after what you went through with TX. Have fun.
Great News!!
I'm one month post tx. myself and playing the waiting game. This Forum was also a lifesaver for me. My tx. was difficults towards the end. Lots more energy now.
Stories like yours give all of us hope.
Congratulations - Lynne
Very good news, from one Bill to another!
