Hi Bob, HOW GREAT!!!!!  I am so pleased for you.  What a fantastic end to a rough year.  All the very best.  My hubby has his 24 week post test in mid January with results early February, (am disliking having to wait 7 months post instead of 6 months, but the specialist was adamant) so I am hoping we will get a fab result like you.  Merry Christmas.  Enjoy!!!!  Caroline

Awesome Christmas present indeed Bob!! I'm so happy you got this great news and doubly thrilled that you got to receive it at Christmastime. So very cool and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! You're one of the true supporters here on the forum and I'm sure that your kindness and friendship to everyone here is being repaid in this gift of life for you. You've earned more than one HCV treatment merit badge Bob and I think we can all consider this as the HCV forum promotion to a "Dragon Scout". Congratulations buddy, you deserve it!! Full speed ahead Brother!

Just got back from Dr. and SVR 24 !!!

What a great day i am having. Blood work all in the normal range. Both Alt and Ast at 26. Platelets at 156. everything was good.

Thank god for Victrelis, it kicked butt. I was on only 600 Riba and 135 peg for alot of my TX. But i never missed a dose of Vict. Thank you everyone for helping through my 48 weeks..You guys are great.
