Laura, give Tom our congratulations on finishing his Harvoni tx.  The results reported thus far have been excellent.  Hoping and praying his MRI comes back clean.  Take care.

Hi Laura,

Glad to hear Tom has finished treatment. I hope he achieves SVR.

Good luck for the MRI- it would be great if it was clear. Fingers crossed for you. Cheers.

Thanks Bill....the six months flew by.  We pray this works.  Tom feels and looks great. This last treatment was easy on his system compared to all the rest.  We have been disappointed in the past so we don't want to jinx anything. Mt Sinai in Sept will be a huge awakening for us.  We hope his viral count is still 0 and that the MRI shows NOTHING on his liver that could possibly be cancer.  I see you are taking the harvoni too.  How are you making out?  Hearing great results, but there are still the few that can't seem to find the 0 count after coming off treatment.  I pray everyone here beats this.....so many stories shared on this forum. Although I don't post often, I lurk no and then to see how people are doing and to give myself and Tom hope.  Thanks for the kind words.

Fondly,

Laura

Congratulations Tom and Laura,

So far so good Tom you've had such a battle, You deserve a break and an easier ride from here. Harvoni is working well in a lot of us As you can see better than anything else we tried. I also like the way your wife is so much a part of your treatment and shares the fight. you are blessed. So sit back take a break. better days are near.

Hi Laura,

I'm so happy to hear that Tom has finished treatment. I know you're both thrilled to have reached this milestone successfully and with the track record we have seen here already, there's every reason to expect continued good news. 

I'll be keeping everything crossed and will be saying those prayers. My best to Tom, thanks for the update Laura. Good luck!!

Hi Laura and Tom,

Good to hear from you and congrats to Tom for reaching the end of his Harvoni treatment!  It`s a huge milestone along the way, and I`m happy to share your excitement with you!

We`re all rooting for you here and hoping for the very best.  To be finally from Hep C is certainly what Tom deserves, and this time he stands the best chance of success yet.

Hi all, Hope to find everyone well. Today is a huge day.  It is Tom's last day of harvoni.  He is very excited. This last treatment has been a breeze compared to his previous five.  Just wanted to share our excitement.  We go back to NYC in September for his MRI and he will get his blood work completed too.   We hope and pray his viral load is still 0.  In the past, his count has always returned high but we are hoping this treatment worked and kicked hep c's ass.  Please everyone, keep your fingers, toes, and heart crossed.  Will let you know how it comes out.  Praying for the best.  Keep up the fight all, hopefully we will all be cured one day. 

Fondly,

Laura and Tom
