What a great milestone! I'm looking forward to enjoying that same feeling of success and huge accomplishment! Please share your journey of improvement, it's nice to witness that kind of news. Seeing the Incivek groups end the third drug group after 12 weeks makes me jealous, lol! I'm on the Victrelis train and we get to go from 24 to 48 weeks, ugh!! I think for all of us, not having to continue all of the pills and diet demands so many times each day/week/month is by itself wonderful! i know youll enjoy that luxury all by itself! But whatever it takes we've got to be thankful for the chance! Good luck and job well done biggrin

Great News Ranelle! I hope you bounce back quickly. It took 4 weeks plus for me to start feeling better, but I've lost a bunch of weight and am able to exercise at least an hour a day (broken into 2 segments smile). I have lost my craving for cheese too (an unexpected bonus). On to UND for you!!!! xoxox kellie

By far the best day of my treatment was the last day of Incivek. And believe me, the next few days were amazing. Due the incredibly short half life of Incivek, it is out of your system very quickly. Within days the improvements will be obvious. I am sitting here smiling, thinking of how wonderful it was. Good job making it this far. And best of luck down the road. You can now go to "morning and night" instead of "every 8 hours, plus or minus thirty minutes". What a stupid schedule!! But no more. Way to go.

Great news.  If your symptoms are like mine, it is down hill from here.  I still have nausea from the interferon but you should feel much better.  Congrats and good luck.

Hey  Ranelle

Congrats on making through the hardest part, it said that this triple therapy is more effective than the old dual but also more difficult. You are to be commended.

Onward and upward to UND

Matt
