So happy for you! This will do it once and for all. You will sail through this treatment. From what I've been hearing, it's a cake walk compared to the crap we won't through with the incevik. Go get em Taz...!!!!

Hi Taz, so pleased you`ve got your meds now, you`ve waited a long time for this!

Anyone would be feeling apprehensive after what you`ve been through over past treatments, but this time round you`ll have Sovaldi on your side, and this is the one that will do it for you, I`m sure.  Just read through some of the excellent results and reports we`ve seen here already.  Once you`ve got started next week you`ll feel a lot less anxious, and you`ll be on your journey to a Hep C free life!

Wishing you all the best of luck, and remember that we`ll be with you every step of the way, giving you support and encouragement.  ~ Jill smile

Hey Taz,

Try to not dread it. You've had plenty of practice and the old SOC's offered you hope, but disappointment. You paid your dues and it's obvious to me, after going through treatment 3 times, that your mind was made up long ago. You decided that come hell or high water, you were going to beat this thing and tried, you tried hard. I have to believe that you learned a lot about yourself during those tough times. You learned that your health and your future go hand in hand. Keep your eye on the goal and reach inside yourself and find the drive and attitude that carried you through those previous attempts. It's still there and in your heart of hearts, you know this is your time and I do too! You got it in the bag Taz, it's your turn. Keep your chin held high and make it so....

Good luck,  Tig

Hi Kathy,

Congrats!! Let the fun and future Hep C free life begin, yahoo! Remember to take it one day at a time and stay the course. Be faithful with your meds and the schedule you take them and you will be celebrating your first UND in a matter of weeks. If I might suggest one thing, add your treatment protocol in your signature line. That way we all know right away what you're taking and a little history. It's up to you but it helps to know when responding. I wish you the best!

Tig
