Hi Bill.

 Thanks so much for stopping by. It is very valuable for those who are still battling the dragon to see others who have 'been there - done that', succeeded, and continues to improve. Non of us will be 18 again but you are proof that life continues after HCV. Keep paving the road for those of us following in your footsteps and have a great 2016+.

Hi Bill,

I see you got there the tough route ... Congrats on SVR!

My hat is off to you as well as all the pioneers, trail breakers and warriors who preceded the latest round of DAA drugs.

Hi there, Bill! 

Good to see your your update, I`m very pleased to hear life post tx is continuing to go so well for you.  I`m a year ahead of you in age, and as far as I`m concerned there`s a lot to be said for the single life, especially when you`re still 18 in your head!! 

Take care of yourself and keep doing what you`re doing.  You went through some petty rough times back then during your triple therapy tx, and I`m so pleased that your life is back on track and going well. 

We`re always pleased to hear from you, Bill, and I`m sure we`d all love to see some more of your photos if ever you feel like sharing them with us. 

All best wishes for a Happy New Year to you too!  smile

Hiya

Good that your getting stronger daily. Exercise is important esp. if you want to keep that 18 year old mind. I feel a big difference between staying active vs doing nothing. Walking in the morning gives me a whole different out look on the day.

Hi Bill,

Glad to hear from you! I also check in regularly even though it has been almost a year and a half since EOT. As yourself, I am slowly getting my strength back and plan to get out daily for short walks at first then progressing to longer ones. I am almost embarrassed to say that exercise has more or less fallen by the wayside but I know how totally important it is for us (or anyone) to get as much as we can.

Hi Bill,

Good to hear you're doing well and getting better! I agree that there has been a lot of water under the bridge since we went through the Triple Threat. The new treatments are shorter and better but they seem to have their own unique issues. It will be a great day when we have a fast, side effect free, silver bullet treatment. Then we can work on one to give us back our 18 year old vitality!
