We have a new word to add to our Hep C vocabulary.

[Guest guest]

Everyone.. Steve and I heard something wonderful this weekend.. Not sure if he

has already posted this because I haven't read all my messages in my inbox yet..

I still have over 100.

At the Annual Meeting for Liver Specialists that took place in the past week a

new term was used in conjunction with Hepatitis C. Are you ready for the new

word?

CURED

Yep, I said it, CURED. After 6 months of SVR status, after you have completed

treatment, you are now considered CURED. The ONLY chance of that virus coming

back is if you are re-infected. CURED folks.. CURED. This is big. What this

means is that once we kill the dragon in our liver, we can get the dragon out of

our head.... FINALLY. CURED.

CURED.

I love that word.

Hugs,

Teri

TeriReally??? What a great day for me to find out that I am CURED of at least the HepC! That must mean that 6 mos post tx, no one has got the virus back without an explanation - such as "reinfected". FantasticGloria
