So Happy! I gotta Share!

My mother had hepatitis C from a bad blood transfusion many years ago.  Five years ago, she tried to go through the treatment for Hep C, but it just about killed her so she stopped in the middle of it. 

Recently, a few weeks ago, she was able to get on the new Harvoni treatment and as of today, six weeks into a 12 week treatment, she is Hep C free!  The blood test detected NO VIRUS!!!!

How wonderful!  I'm so happy for her and all of you.

That's great; I'm glad that the Harvoni treatment worked--such great news! <3

I think that's the one my mother-in-law went through (I remember she had to get 'sponsored' or something).  She's also down to an undetectable viral load.

Family members with sickness is a terrible thing to witness.

But hearing this is really good news. I'm happy for you and her.

Thanks!  She's thrilled!  She still has to complete the 12 week treatment to make sure it doesn't come back, but it's a wonderful sign for her to be virus free so early.

Glad to hear it, Aragem. :)
