Hi Dr. Freeman,

Thank you for sharing, I find the video highly interesting. The first minutes were imho a little bit boring, but later on things became very attractive, especially the parts related to the hard to treat patients or the various effects / results obtained in each genotype when treated with sof/vel or the situation of the patients awaiting liver transplant.
I would recommend this ~half an hour video to be seen while drinking the morning coffee

.

Cheers,
RHF

In fiecare an HCV ucide peste 500000 oameni.Medicamentele generice pentru hepatita C functioneaza. Nu deveni statistica! Cauta pe Google “medicamente generice pentru hepatita C”.

Just some questions while pondering my future retreatment:

a. This video seems to be saying that retreating with Sofosbuvir and Ribavirin may not get someone with my profile too far?

b. Appears to need Velpatasvir aboard as well?

c. the caution part in one slide 34 mins into presentation for difficult to retreat patients - what 'close monitoring' is required??

i thought you used Sof/Dac/Riba on your previous treatment? Are you saying that you are being recommended to retreat with just Sof and Riba this time?
