SVR - thank you Medhelp posters :-)

Thank you to all you wonderfuly compassionate like-minded souls for giving me the information and encouragement that got me through the treatment.

Early cirrhosis, 2nd time tx'g (first time 1993),  G3,  July 2008 did 180 Peg 1000 riba for 6 months;   a mini-marathon by comparison to many, but a marathon that I wasn't sure I could endure.    

I have just realised that I can make a 5 year plan without a shadow hovering over it and am humbled by the gift I have received.    ALT 24 AST 22.     It will take sometime to sink in;  I have lived with this since 1984.   Thank you all xx

YAY!!!! I am so happy for you dear friend. You were such a good friend during tx and I still remember your funny stories.... You had such a great sense of humor dragging yourself around the house etc.

I am so so happy for you, you are an inspiration to all of us.

Lots of love from Indonesia...

Wow, thanks so much everyone;  what a nice gathering at the end of the course :-).

Epi - at the finish line for me, right where I will be for you - sending prayers

CA - couldn't have done it without you, and who would've guessed we both got here!!

Smaug - doing the l-o-n-g haul, and not doing it easy; thoughts and prayers;  I so want to hear the SVR bell ring for you, and look forward to hearing that you're counting down to EOT xxx

Wilful - not too far behind, come on girl - waiting for you!

Charm - letting me know all the way what was ahead; so glad you're giving me a lift to the ball :-)

Lapis - paving the way for G1's; so looking forward to hearing your breakthrough results xx

ChildAngel - Mum to us all, I cried more for you than for any of us, and your compassion still shines through for us, thank you.

MikeSimon - researcher extrordanaire - when you chime in an add such value, thank you

PAnn - in another life we were birds IN the same nest; perhaps why we still fly on the same wavelength

JD - thanks for your humour and down to earth support here; hope you are doing well :-)

LL - your posts have been such a highlight, and you were never too busy to chuck a PM my way when I was panicking  - thank you

Izzy - we don't talk much but I watch, and hope, and enjoy your threads; you've done so very well, and can't wait until you finish xx

Pilgrim - hehe - I'm sure I remember you in 1969 - didn't we meet somewhere?

GD - get your brain out of your crotch - hehe - I just DON'T KNOW where you get this stuff from... Do you have a book of catch quotes, they just can't come out of your brain;  I'll PM you about what they think my future holds :-)

Rocker - how do u know me so well - one of my most favorite songs, thank you

SQueen - you could've been here, but I'm glad you did the extra;  hanging in for you now

And Brent - you answered one of my first panicky posts and have had me in giggles, late at night when the whole Southern world was asleep throughout tx.  You take miles and turn them into milimetres with your words and humour, (but have yet to put NZ on TOP of the world).  thank you xxx

That's such great news. Whoooo hoooo down under - which is different than "Whooo hooo down undies...." that's something an Eskimo yells at Christmas....

What do your medical folks say about your future from here?

Such wonderful news for you, especially, and all of us as fighters.  Your seniment to the forum reminds me of "Days" by Raymond Douglas Davies.  Have fun at the Red Shoes Ball and "Don't Forget To Dance."

I swear to you, Kristina, that just as I read your wonderful news, my cardinal flew to the feeder. And he's been so shy lately.

I honestly feel like grabbing the next plane to New Zealand to give you a real hug.

Thank you for having your head in such a beautiful place. Your constructive, thoughtful and insightful words have been a consistent source of strength and encouragement to me.

I don't want to lose you, so if it's cool with you, let's also get together for coffee in beautiful NZ.

I'm happy as larry for you and looking forward to a real yack.

Good on ya, mate!

Best regards,

Port

Duh!!  I forgot that I had to spell my name incorrectly when I first signed up and cos I'm not on my own computer I had to type my name in and used the proper spelling and not the incorrect spelling, if you see what I mean...

Anyway, congrats again.  So happy for you, so inspired by you, and so proud of you!

Much love!

OMG!!  That is such wonderful news, the best news I have heard since you went und!! I'm sitting here with tears of joy running down my face, you did it, you did it. you did it!!

Btw. this is Epi. I'm in California and I can't log into my account (silly medhelp keeps telling me I have an invalid name or password - hurrumph!) so I had to make a new account just to congratulate you!

So, CONGRATULATIONS!!  I have to shout cos Cali is a lot further from North Shore than Mt Albert!  I am so deliriously happy for you and can only imagine the amazing feelings you are experiencing.  You perservered and you prevailed, you are WONDERFUL!  Welll done my dear friend!!

Coffee date soon?!
