Well actually the Hepatitis C virus is down to below 1,000 copies in my blood stream ! That counts as being undetectable in the mad, mad world of Hep. . That means I am officially in remission ! :: doing the happy, happy, joy, joy dance :: We continue treatment for another 5 months and then stop and see if I relapse again. So keep your fingers toes and maybe some naughty bits crossed for me ! I’ll want pictures of the naughty bits ! ---

**Ayesha** , that’s teriffic! You’ve done so much work making people aware of hep C, including the increasing possibilities of a good outcome, that’s it is just great that it looks like one of those good outcomes might belong to you. I’m just tickled for you. Great! ---

Congratulations. That’s definitely worth celebrating. Here’s hoping you never relapse. And trust me, you don’t want to see a picture of my crossed naughty bits. ---

Thank you \*\* wring \*\* and \*\* Manny \*\*. We knew I was a responder to interferon alone from my two year stint on it. We are hoping the addition of the anti-viral will keep me from another relapse. And there are a couple of new treatments in the testing stages now that look promising. I am keeping but hopes up that I won’t relapse, but after the last time I have to keep in mind that it is possible so that should it happen, I won’t be as shattered. I would like to thank several dopers who have emailed me that my posts helped them decide to be tested. Most were negative and I rejoice in that. But you all may not be aware that I am not the only board member who has this. It has saddened me to hear from others who have found out they have it, yet it also makes me glad I post about about this. With knowledge comes power. And treatment can’t be started until you know. So please if at all possible be tested ! All of you ! ---

You guys (Dopers), have made this a little easier for me by allowing me to talk about it . ---

Congratulations, girl. That sounds great. I don’t think I can cross my naughty bits. I’ll work on it tonight, though, just to find out. Hopefully, [Week No.59](http://www.ila.com/archive6.htm) isn’t what you meant. Jim ---

\*\* JimB \*\* Thanks, and that looks more like it’s tied in a knot than crossed. I don’t even own one (not full time anyway, I do have to let LIONsob have custody of it sometimes) and that picture made me cring. What’s sad is I also book marked the page ! \*\* St.Germain \*\* Thank you. \*\* beatle \*\* Thanks, I knew I could count on you my friend ! \*\* ChiefScott \*\* Thanks hon ! And I am so flattered by that sig. \*\* rocking chair \*\* Thanks \*\* Runadoc \*\* Thank you, and be careful not to hurt yourself too badly during the crossing ! I left out all smilies in thanks for the Chief quoting me. ---
