I am so happy to hear of your husbands SVR! I am thrilled that the cure is finally at hand! I know you have both worked long and hard for this!
I also want to extend my sympathy on the loss of your dad. Dads are so special and I hope your memories and love for him bring you comfort.
Thank you, dear friends. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My wonderful dad passed away on the 15th. The most important thing he taught me was how to persevere during difficult times and I am grateful. It was perseverance that helped my husband and I finally get to hear that he has beat this insidious monster, Hepatitis C.
So what I want to say to everyone out there who are struggling every day with Hepatitis C, "hang in there"! My husband's case is proof that it can be beaten. I am certain that one day soon hepatitis C will be a thing of the past.
My best wishes to all. Be strong and persevere! The rewards for doing so are great.

Thank you dear friends. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. My wonderful dad passed away at the age of 96 on the 15th. He taught me many things but the most important was how to persevere during difficult times and I am grateful.
What I want to say to everyone fighting this Hep C virus is "hang in there!"
It WILL happen! My husband's case is proof of that. Before long, hepatitis C will be eradicated.
