    Hi All,
    I’m new here. I was diagnosed just over 2 years ago.
    Genotype 1a.
    Fibroscan 3.8
    Tx naive.

    On the 6th of January I started , treatment , generic harvoni, thanks to that saint of a man, Greg Jefferys, and it took just 5 days to arrive at my door step.
    So far no side affects, thank god.
    Hopefully I will be having my bloods done on the 21st of this month.
    I will keep you posted with the results.
    God Bless.
    Frankie.

    Thanks .
    The last 2 years have been an absolute challenge . I’m in the U.K…and it’s the same story, too healthy to receive treatment.
    The last time I saw a consultant he told me he didn’t want to see me for a whole year as I was in good health. WTF !.
    So I contacted Greg and the rest is history.
    I’m so glad I found this website, so glad I found you.

    Hi Frankie,

    “The last time I saw a consultant he told me he didn’t want to see me for a whole year as I was in good health. WTF !.”

    In some respects he is probably right, BUT getting treatment will make sure you stay that way!

    All the best

    Hi Sabrecat,
    I understood what that consultant meant, but I was with him for a full five minutes and then basically brushed off.
    Frustrated and angry, but he did me a favour. I became pro-active, decided to get in touch with Greg Jefferys and the rest his history.

    Frankie.
