Hang in there. I was so discouraged when the S/O treatment failed for you I can't imagine how you must have felt.
This must be a huge relief for you. It won't be long now.

Hi Greg and Matt,

Greg, there is a fishing hole that has your name on it just waiting for your re-energized SVR self after the train ride!

Matt, I think this time will be the charm!

Hey Greg

Wow time flys, 9 days to go and way you fly. I am about 1 1/2 months behind you and though Harvoni has been mostly problem free it does seems that with the longer protocols (24 weeks) it does bring some seemingly different issues with varied patients. Through it all we still have to maintain a positive outlook knowing the very high percentage that Harvoni has resulted from. Its seems odd and I have no real breakout numbers but those that have had more reactions (side effects) to the Harvoni seem to achieve SVR during trials and the first 6 months since its release.

I will be thinking and pulling for your good (SVR) up coming results.

Greg,

You're nearly there mate. Youll be fine.

As for energy, I needed all of it driving to Macon GA today- it was terrifying with torrential rain. Cheers.

Hey Greg,

You got this my friend!!! I have no doubt that your EOT VL will continue to be undetected and all the way through +12. I'm so glad to hear it hasn't been a rough ride for you. Nothing like the old days, eh? Keep us informed buddy and good luck!

Started the blast off countdown today, 9 more days of meds to go (yes I'm counting).  Overall the Harvoni ride hasn't been too bad. Hoping and praying to join others in SVR land.  I need some of that energy Malcolm has :)  Good luck to all on treatment and those awaiting the 12 week golden SVR award.
