Congrats Huey, always thrilled to see someone make it.    May the red and green be with you.  Sorry, meant to say may the orange and blue be with  you 

Congrats Huey. Never in doubt!

Huey,

Congrats on the great news! Keep it up and of course, keep keeping your "stick on the ice."

-Rob

Way to go huey! I wish you smooth sailing from here on !

Congrats on your EOT+4 UND, Huey.  

I don't want to add to the confusion by calling a 4 week EOT result SVR, though.  

You have definitely kept your stick on the ice! Congratulations Huey on your EOT+4 UND.

  SVR as of today, 9/8/14

Just saw this myself, Ryan.  Belated congrats....such great news!!

A belated congrats to Ryan (sorry I missed this happy news when you first posted it)!      

And congrats, Duane!  

Hey Duane

That is great news, WOW the O & S combo seems to work very well for us cirrhotics. With you reaching SVR it will lead to helping all the other HCV related problems, so things are really looking up for you, congrats.

Every time I see a G 1a cirrhotic get to SVR on Sovaldi/Olysio I have a surge of hope that I'll be cured too- I won't find out until Oct 23rd, 12 weeks past my EOT. Congratulations on your success!!!!!!

 You are much like me in your situation, and I'd be very surprised if you weren't SVR The S/O combo is the friendliest tx I've heard of and man it appears to be so effective. You will get a prayer from me that you get the same results, having cirhosiss is hard enough in itself and stopping the invader is allowing us cirrhotics to at least know we have some control on the outcomes.

My cramped toes and fingers are crossed for all that are waiting!

Congradulations on SVR 12 Duane! You need to start your own SVR thread so we can all have a big party to celebrate your success.

Next week 3 month transplant MRI and full blood work, I may just get to go to 6 month tests or get dropped from the list altogether.

What criteria do they use to determine whether to drop you from the TP list or not - MELD score only? I'm not very informed about transplants other than I know I will eventually need one, no chance of being dropped from the list because my cirrhosis is in decompensated stage (ESLD). So I assume your cirrhosis is still in compensated stage if you have a chance of being dropped from the list?

 My diagnosis was ESLD all my paperwork just says Cirrhosis and the fact that I've had acites, edema, slight encephalopathy, portal hypertension, varicies, I was on a slippery slope downward fast. I'm the only one who is saying that about getting off the list, I don't know if they drop you or not , but I thought I remember when I was put on you have to have a MELD of at least 12 to be put on the list.

Now my AST and ALT are in the 50's INR is 1.4, Billy is 1.3, these are all improvements to the function, another noticeable difference is I know my spleen is not as enlarged I can feel that, acites and edema are way down. So all in all things are just working better, at  least whatever is left. I think this MRI coming up will be interesting to see if they can see improvements?

Thanks for all the well wishes and support.

Feels good, don't it?   Congrats and best of luck moving forward, Duane. Another marked AFP drop. Cool. Mine did the same.

Duane,

Congrats.

What a blessing!

Just got the call from the Dr..........

I am officially SVR12 after the 12 week S/O treatment.

I asked when I would be tested again ......in a year or something? Was told nope this is it, you're done with HEP C !

Another interesting result is that my blood work came back for the LFT and because they didn't do a creatinine test I used my June #s and my MELD has dropped to 11. And AFP marker was 10.6 it at one point was 300+

Next week 3 month transplant MRI and full blood work, I may just get to go to 6 month tests or get dropped from the list altogether.

I remember when I first posted on here I said I was gonna be different and beat this thing cirrhosis included and just maybe it can really happen!

Anyway praise be to God he has plans for me on this rock yet.

Duane
