    hello Doc James ,

    I have a question concerning the timeline for those trials, you state:

    December-January-February: 12 week treatment window

    does this word “window” means one can start anytime in December, like after Xmas? or even January after New Year?
    or are all participants supposed to start on the same day like 01 December 2015 ?? & be done by the end of Feb?
    – assuming we’re talking duration tx of 12 weeks.

    I’m trying to work out the best options amongst all sorts of prior commitments already made for December, etc


    Geno 3, Fibro 8.7 pKA, tx experinced in 2005 – Peg/Riba, relapsed.
    Started tx 1/12/2015 with Indian Sofo & Chinese Dac.
    5 weeks result all normal, ALT 18 – down from ALT 73 at the start of tx.
    5 weeks HCV PCR RNA – UND. – down from 2 ML
    9 weeks HCV PCR RNA – UND.

    I am a newbie, have been reading and reading all the info. Have had Hep C at least 30yrs. GT1a, 15 million VL, 139 and 229 LFT. getting a fibro scan this week. No prior TX. Losing weight and feeling a bit scared. I doubt Medicare will come through for me and considering a trip to Hobart. I love being able to hear your stories and have hope thanks to all of you.

    Hi Jan, If you can get to Australia then do it, don’t wait for the bean counters to say that your now sick enough for the meds (or for current regulations to suddenly change), snatch your own wellbeing away from dollar driven indifference and reclaim your life.

    Hi Jan

    My situation is very similar to yours. I made an appointment with Dr James Freeman at:
    https://gp2u.com.au/

    I recommend that you do the same to talk over your options with him.

    Most of all, don’t be afraid.

    Hi Felix, Thank you for the encouragement. Are you from the USA too? Are you getting treatment?

    Count me in as now ready for the trials…my meds arrived yesterday :cheer:

    Amazing to think how much $ is represented in those two innocuous bottles…I feel incredibly fortunate to have this chance at a cure (and to those who have done so much, you know who you are and what gratitude is owed…and immeasurable thanks to Dr J)

    Now, to wait for January…patience not being my strong suit :) lol

    Dr James amended his initial post here, LG…now its from Jan-thru-March. I’m guessing the RVR trials bumped the timeline forward a bit

    @dreamer

    Hello Dr James,
    How long need to wait to be approved and receive medicine ( Sofosbuvir 400mg/Ledipasvir 90mg) if apply for The REDEMPTION-3 eTrial? What another way to get these medicine?
    Thanks!

    Basically as long as it takes you to fill in the trial agreement form, for the money to clear (3 days) and then the medication to ship (5-7 days).

    Typically under 2 weeks from apply to receive.

    Hello Dr.Freeman,
    I finished registering and wired payment from USA for Redemption 3 eTrial and was curious about your statement, “Typically under 2 weeks from apply to receive.”
    Does that still hold true for us here in the US?
    I’ve yet to be contacted for consult with Indian doctor as I just wired yesterday from US bank to bank in Aus.

    Thank you,
    Matt
