Many of you know I have been on the combo therapy for Hepatitis C for a year. This weekend treatment will end and  
then starts the wait and see what happens period.

I have good reason to hope I will have a sustained remission due to the geno-type of the disease I have.

Cross your fingers for me, it’s been a long ride this is roound two for me. I was on interferon alone for almost two years before this and relapsed. I don’t want to do this again !

PS I heard that lots of flirting with hot male Dopers can help . 😛

I’ve got my fingers crossed for you, Ayesha.

And, err, if I were a hot, male Doper I’d be all over you. Just doing my part for the cure.

Dear sweet lovely gorgeous Aye-Lioness:  
Here’s the highest hopes that you’ve got this disease licked!

My fingers and toes are crossed for you, Gal. Remember, Texans are…well…Texans. And when the heat of summer comes, that’s a mighty force to be reckoned with!

Most well best, Ayesha…

I don’t know if I’m hot enough for you, but I’ll flirt with you any day. … Just step around the corner here and let’s, uh, talk a minute.

Good luck, girl,

This is great news!! Now, how often will you get updates on your condition? And you _will_ keep us posted, right?  
Most importantly, how do you **feel**? I’m guessing that if you feel okay, the prognosis should be good.

Pizza’s on it’s way; pick off what you don’t like. _Pshhht!_  
Here’s a cold one for you, **Phouka**! You need to be on more often too, y’know! I still carry the sig you gave me, right next to my heart…somewhere here, anyway! Oh! there it is, down there!

Congrats, Lioness! How YOU doin?! 😉

The guy I was rooming with last year discovered he had it, and I witnessed the emotional roller coaster first hand. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.

You are one brave lady. Here’s to your continued recovery.

I’d have a _real_ drink, but I’m at work.

Ayesha, what wonderful news!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this time you beat it!

Thanks again for being such a huge support to me earlier this year when I found out I have “the red dragon”. I haven’t started my treatments yet, but will this October. I hope I can bleed from you (no pun intended) your positive attitude!

Take care and God speed.
