Hi everyone, I do not have hep c, but the love of my life does, ( 1a) he has had it for approx. 30 years, after he was in a gas pipeline explosion in Texas, 1983.. and received blood with the numerous head surgeries he needed during the 2 years in the hospital, it was 1999 when he gave blood to Red Cross, a week later we received a letter from them not to give blood again, and to go see his Dr. So we went to see Dr and was dx with Hep C, we at the time didn’t really gave it much thought since it was new at the time, a few years later he was feeling poor so we had blood test ran his viral load was 6 million, since we had our own private health insurance and they was covering the treatment so he started jan 2003 for 52 weeks, pegylated interferon and ribavirin, suffered terrible side effects, was undectable within 2 months,, finished treatment, and it came back.. Dr told us sorry nothing more they can do, So her I am googling the latest treatments and so forth after seeing the Harvoni commercials, even called them for paperwork to apply for coverage since Obama took our health insurance, our plan wasn’t good enough,then was told by Gilead we make too much money ….. I’ve been getting Hepatitis Central’s Newsletter, and came across the one from 12/16/15 and the article of FixHepC Club started for those in need…and here I am …..I wired the money, and faxed all the paperwork, had a hell of a fight with customs, finally they released hubby’s meds 2 days ago with a wonderful letter from Andrew @ fixhepc with the link of the clinical trials, and he started taking his pill yesterday.. so far so good, he is just a little tired… me I am relieved to finally get him the meds he needed.. his last bloodwork levels were ALT ..77 AST…51 VIRAL LOAD 8163914 I will be updating along the way.. thank you again to everyone that works endlessly for those who suffer with Hep C, but a huge thank you to Dr. Freeman you are making a difference …
