    @fixhepc

    Over the past 5 years this forum has been here several thousand people have dropped in for a while. Once cured of Hep C I totally understand the desire to move on, and that a forum like this becomes irrelevant to life post SVR12. I have fond memories of some of our now inactive members and wish each and every one all the best. This post is not about this majority.

    When we started we all took a leap of faith. Nowadays, if years of real patients recounting real-world stories can’t convince a skeptical viewer this somewhat unusual way of accessing medication works….. then there is probably nothing that can.

    This post is to say thanks to those people who have been cured, but continue to drop in and contribute words of encouragement. You’re paying it forward.

    Thank you.

    You are the man, though. Without you, your website, volunteers and helpers, we would not
    have a home to visit once in a while.

    We need to thank …..you.

    Dr James…..you are a man that see’s the world how it should be and you move on that path to accomplish your mission. I and thousands of others we are very fortunate to have met you as in all reality you have saved my life and countless others.
    So if I can help one person get treated, like I did, I’ll come here till this place is in the next generation and until I can help no more.

    May God bless you sir and the path that you are always walking on.

    Just like coral I will be hovering. I’m especially on the look out for fellow G4’s. This is the best forum I have found on the Internet. I am also HIV+ and I have yet to find this kind of support on any HIV forum. People here are genuine and caring. Dr Freeman is just amazing. I talk about him constantly to my ID doctor. I’m always looking to convert the skeptical.

    I am another ‘hoverer’ too.

    I tend to dip in and out of this forum for a look see occasionally.

    After being on this forum over so any years, and through the days when people like me were trying to get better using new meds after having been jaded a bit by interferon and the like, I found a lot of people showing humanity’s better side.

    Hep C took many things from me, but it gave me this experience and in a perverse way, balanced the books.

    Many thanks for the support from the Dr James, Gaj’s and other forum members.

    For those considering starting on the the final chapter of Hep C, the journey of getting treated and becoming well, please don’t mind me hovering.

    Hi all!

    Thank you, Doc Freeman. For all those who are new, I received my Panovir (generic Epclusa) Christmas 2016 thru fixhepC. I am free of the virus to this day. As time goes by I feel better and better. It has been a fantastic ride with all the people here. And, Doc Freeman, I will drop by more often and post. Thank you, again and again!!!!!!
