Hello and good luck to all currently on treatment, including myself!

My burning question is treatment length (non-cirrhotic)- 12 weeks or more on Daklinza/Sovaldi? I can't seem to find trial results that show different treatment time-frame results. Ie. 16 weeks, 24 weeks as alternatives. Anyone have an idea?

It would be great for those retreating for Genotype 3 to mention their new drug combination and length too, please.

Hi AK123, I was advised by Dr Freeman to extend my 12 weeks tx to 16 or 18 weeks as results suggested better outcomes. This was back in April. So I did 16 wks and have just reached svr 24. I had no cirrhosis and fibroscan score of 2. Hope this helps. Wilko

I'm doing 12 weeks ( finish 28/11/16) I did think about extending treatment... but decided on 12 weeks.
Undetected at 3 weeks into treatment... I had no cirrhosis and fibro scan F1

Hi AK123, Maybe you could put some more info re your VL pre tx and any previous treatment? Then people with a similar status can tell you of their own experience.

There is a patient called rightsaidfred on this forum, GT3 and they are now now clear, They may be able to advise you, I believe RSF extended over the 12 weeks, just to be sure.

Of course, you can talk to Dr Freeman of FixHepC for advise and Dr Debasis at MonkMed via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

They are the best in the HepC world with unbiased excellent advise.

I am not GT3 but I was a slow responder and their advise and support was outstanding. (I am currently SVR12 thanks to their EXPERT advise).

Good luck and my advise is, seek advise with these two experts if you have any concerns. It can all be easily done with a telephone or skype appointment.

Thank you LondonGirl and others for your kind sharing of advice and personal treatment stories. I have had an informative reply from Dr Freeman (posted under 'Sovaldi/Daklinza-side-effects and treatment duration'), which has been a marvellous help as well. All the best!

and there's another GT3 success story in wilko johnson

Congratulations wilko mate

I'm another G3a who is cured. Just got my SVR24. Did 18 weeks TX

Congratulations on your SVR24 MtGoat!!!

Thanks Gaj. What's happening for you? Are you waiting for a 3 part combo to become available?

Lovely news MtGoat

Great news MtGoat on your SVR24!!! ......Best wishes with continued health and happiness!..Fara

great news! MG
Congrats

Thanks MG. Having tried twice with Dac combos I've decided to look for a three way to really nail it this time. Currently doing something I've had plenty of previous practice at .......waiting! There are some good options coming through for relapsed GT3s but time seems to drag.

For me (probably life-long GT3), Sof+Dac worked like a dream. Please see my signature.

... No, not a dream. It's real!!!

Well Gaj, I am a fan of yours so, I'll be waiting in the wings to follow you through whatever comes after this. I don't want you to wait & I saddened that you're waiting.
