I think poodle’s advice is spot on. There is little any of us could say about our own experiences that isn’t already there in dozens of different threads. If he’s been convinced by a doctor it will take another doctor to change his mind. I know for a fact the doc is very good at getting people to face the gravity of their situation. And your friend sounds like he is in urgent need of a reality check.

You somehow need to get your friend reading, it’s alot to take in if it’s all new.
i hope you can get him to listen to someone with medical authority & he can speak to Dr F.
It must be very frustrating for you.
good luck

pkhow said “but unfortunatly a few months ago relapsed 6 months after treatment finished.”

As someone who experienced similar two years ago, I have some understanding of how disappointing and demoralising it can be to struggle through the old Peg/RIBA regimes with their horrendous side effects only to find that the virus comes right back stronger than ever. But as you know these new DAAs are the real thing and they work on people with cirrhosis too as can be seen by my latest lab results! And the best part is they are a walk in the park compared with the old treatment.

As others have said, please insist your friend to at least talks to Dr Freeman or someone similarly up to date and supportive of their patient’s health rather than those who keep saying wait, wait, wait when it isn’t their liver that is getting more scarred and non functional every day. The sooner he gets treatment the easier and more successful it will be.
