Proactive - Thank you and you are almost correct - I live on a lake on the NH border in Massachusetts. Do you live in NH??
Pam and Trish - Thank you!!!! Best to you all as always
It's looking good, Anne. Congrats and keep fighting the good fight!
Trish
That is such awesome news!!! So much boding well for an SVR.
Congratulations, Pam

Oh great Babs! - It's hard to believe it's been 3 months already. Thanks for the encouragement and I would be looking forward to hearing you are again UND
i am so thrilled for you. this is wonderful news. i was and early responder too and am about to do 3 mos test soon. congratulations! babs
Dave - Thank you !! Great article AGAIN. My dr did say that some clinics would do the 16 weeks but he won't - and I agree it should stay 24 weeks even though I fit the criteria. NO CHANCES taken here
Will - well - can I be a cute acute?? lol Thanks and home stretch with apparently good odds - what I hope for everyone starting the new stuff this year
June - Thanks and maybe a big year for us both eh? Both SVR by December ! Well you anyway. You are correct - a pretty high dose for me and it probably does but I also started with a very low viral load - < 615
Thanks everyone for nursing this sorry a$$ along !
Great! Very happy for you!

I was told that if UND the first 4 weeks, SVR is likely. I'm certainly counting on it. As I recall, you are on 1200mg Riba and weigh only 135ish lbs? Right? Wondering if that high dosage has a lot to do with being UND at 2 and 12 weeks.
Keeping my fingers crossed you will remain UND!
June
Don"t know the exact number...especially for a cute.... haha..that doesn"t look right ..I meantis for acutes.....but nice and high for sure..
Congrats..Anne.....coming down the stretch
Will
Great news on the und again. How long will you be treating for?
here is some information about rvr as a predictor of success that may help. Too many variable to state on number as a predictor from what I can understand, but if I am understanding correctly it looks like somewhere between 80-95% SVR.

and a great big THANK YOU!!!! AND best wishes to you all
No doubt, this is good news!
Awesome news!
On your way to SVR - yahoo.......
I can't give you the exact numbers... my foggy brain hasn't cleared up yet, but I do know that since you responded so quickly, your chances of SVR go WAY up. I didn't respond nearly that quickly and I'm still UND 2 months post tx.
Good Luck,
Diane
