Looks like your going to beat me to the SVR line, Taz

Just remember that the shortlist distance between two points is not a straight line, you simply bend space and time and make it the present.

( I added this to confuse you,don't ponder on my non-since too long I am just happy for you)

I think this will be the one, TazKat, because this time you had Sovaldi in the mix.  That is a powerful combo.  Best of luck. !!

Hey Taz 

Congrats on coming to your last week, its a time of reflection. Your happy the weeks are over but cautiously optimistic after your off all meds. The big difference this time is the power house Sovaldi and its ability reach deeper into the liver than ever before. Your on your way and flying high to SVR.

You got my prayers Taz. Aint it sweet to know this is the last shot and the last week! Taz I believe this is a pretty potent combo with the INF/RIB and the Sol added. Apparently, our docs think so too. I think your SVR is right around the corner.

Best wishesTaz!

Hey Taz,

That's great news and I've got a good feeling about this effort of yours! You've shown remarkable strength and the will to prevail. First of all people that have that kind of inner strength are winners, regardless of the outcome and you've got it! But you've fought a hard battle and done a good job of showing not only us, but I believe you've proven something to yourself as well. You're a strong woman with the desire and ability to succeed at whatever you set your mind to. Take this opportunity to believe in yourself and by doing so, you should believe that this is your time to taste the success of SVR too. Good luck, you've got a lot of friends here and we all are ready to celebrate with you! Believe...

I finish up with this nasty mess next Thursday. I get labs then & I guess will find out the next week. prayers please. I don't think my body would hold up for a 5th try. but I got my faith in this sovaldi. I been thru the most stressful 12 weeks of my life literally. from the meds to my son's nut wife & co workers that refuse to understand or even give a hoot about me or my health. But I have ALWAYS  had my family ,this forum & my hepper friends to lift me up & keep me shoving. I promise if I didn't have  this place, I would have problay stopped treatment. But I am a stronger person than I really thought, to have got this far this time. again u guys. Thank You Thank You Thank You!! Now lets pray in agreement that Taz is healed, just got to go thru the motions of insurance.. lol
