SVR or Relapse?

As more and more members are either reaching SVR or relapsing, I thought we could start a thread which allows those who have completed treatment to post their personal results. This may be helpful to others who will be starting treatment soon.

If you choose to participate, please follow this outline:

Gender:  
Ht/Wt:
Genotype:
VL at start:
What Treatment:
How Long:
SVR or Relapse:  
Comments:  (if any)



Feel free to suggest additional info.

This thread has been allowed to fade away.  Please let's don't let it.

ALL who have completed treatment and either reached SVR or who have RELAPSED, please post here.

We keep saying that the test results are on cherry picked patients.  The only way we will ever be able to get a 'real' picture on the general population, is to keep this going so there are results on both side.
Here is the basic form we have been using
.

You went through 2 failures, so I'm sure you know exactly just how lucky you are. The SVR chances with such a liver are much lower than compensated livers.

Needles to say, I'm in the exact same situation. Almost identical. However, no SVR for me yet. I'm still on week 2 of Harvoni.
