All these "graduates". These are happy, exciting times. And in 5 or 6 months when the SVRs start coming down the pike, tears of joy will be the uniform of the day. Alan

Congrats Kate, Shep, Phil!  We're so happy for all of you!  And praying that you're back to "normal" quickly.  It's so nice to hear when someone kicks that dragon's butt!

God Bless!

Wow, Kate and Shep...Done! 

You two started a little after I did, so I've been able to watch you go through your Tx, with all it's ups and downs. 

It is a really wonderful thing to see the determination and spirit we all show, and the help we give to others, all the while persevering through these sometimes horrendous side effects.

Congrats to both of you.  You have my absolute best wishes that you recover quickly on your way to SVR.

Brad

Congratulations, Kate. And to you, Shep. Both big steps. It only gets better. Got my 2 week post labs yesterday (3 wks peg, 2 wks pills). All the white blood stuff is normal again, and the red's improving.

Congratz Kate!
The last shot is truly a great feeling--I kissed my empty Riba bottle good-bye this morning and placed in carefully in the trash!

Here's to speedy recovery!

I just did my last shot and I posted a long, heart felt letter to you all, thanking you for your support, friendship, understanding, and advice. then I went to add a photo and, poof! It was gone.  Not sure why, but everytime I try to upload a pic, it just shows the timer forever and never uploads!

Anyway, I sure am grateful for this forum.  These 24 weeks (I know, I suck!) have been some of the hardest I've ever lived through, but I know I made it intact because you guys carried me.  Thanks to each and everyone of you!

28 more Riba pills and I'm outa here!  But not really, I will be following and praying for all you slayers!

XO

Kate
