Being monitored 7 years 6 months ago #22538
| Hi, Have decided to pay for my treatment via this site but the main thing I am worried about is being monitored whilst on them. Just got off the phone with my liver specialist and they have told me in no uncertain terms that they would not monitor me if i was to go down this route. So lost right now The following user(s) said Thank You: fitz |

| All is not lost and you have options. If you're in the UK your local trust has a duty of care to look after you regardless of you buying treatment yourself. The simplest solution is to have your local GP monitor treatment is that a possibility for you?

Hi Ben, Many of the members here have been in the same situation with their doctors initially and often those same doctors have come around when they see results. Also depending on your current liver status the monitoring may only require running and checking tests, to the extent that for example the new Australian rules allow and encourage prescribing and monitoring of non cirrhotics to be done via local GP's. As this site has an international audience perhaps let us know a bit more about your liver health and where you are located as someone from your own country may have been in a similar position and be able to advise the best options. In the meantime to allay your specialist or GP's concerns perhaps you should give them printouts or downloads of the following: hepatitiscnewdrugs.blogspot.com.au/2016/...ivirals-for.html?m=1 Which includes the following quote from the Secretary General of EASL:
