you are in remission.
My son has hepC also, diagnosed 9 yrs ago. He went though the pegasus/ribovarin for 24 weeks. He went down to 114lbs. When the course was completed the virus was gone--- for a month then came right back.
Hope his insurance will pay for it when he is ready. He still feels good and the count is low.

Were there a lot of side effects?
