I just read Hep Australia website which is now listing the buyers club on their website as a place to go to get generics. Thankyou Helen Tyrell. | |

I'm not going to dwell on how long this has taken but just say well done Hepatitis Australia. That's big getting the word out from somewhere a lot of people are likely to look for information and that is permanently available. Rather than media stories which are transitory and can be easily missed if you don't see it the day it is published or aired. Big props to Helen Tyrell and HA. She can also be assured that when the drugs are listed on the PBS a lot of people unable to afford the generics will be able to get treated because of those who have paid for their own meds.

Well done to Hep Aust. I don't doubt that the personal experiences/postings by Em and others from this forum have helped sway their formerly unequivocal stance. As you say Chester, the word about achievable cures should get out to a whole wider audience now. Great stuff!

| Just saw my story on the "Speak Out" forum with Hep Australia which I posted on 8/12. Glad they approved and posted it........I made it short and sweet but to the point. It's great to see that word is "getting out there". It was the first site I visited when I found out I had the virus. Lives in Bendigo, Victoria No prior treatment Genotype 1b Fibroscan 0 (only showed a bit of a fatty liver) Diagnosed in February 2015 Currently on my last week of treatment taking led/sof Last LFT normal Insomnia the only side effect Undetected at 4 weeks SVR4 - undetected - all bloods good and GP very happy SVR12 bloods to be done at end of April 2016 SVR12 - undetected!!! |

| This link has found its way onto The Hepatitis Foundation of New Zealand's page, lets hope it spurs them into action - its been very quiet on the generic front from them. SVR 24 |

In recent years their page has been my go to for updates on the progress of treatments. I'd just check in every now and then to get an update. I checked their website just recently after discovering fixhepc and found not a mention which I was really disappointed about. I felt ripped off as though the news I'd been depending on had be skewed all this time. So I am very pleased to see this! It is wonderful news 3a F0 TX Naive Started Tx 12/12/2015 Kingswood Sof/Dac Pre Tx - ALT 71 AST 40 V/L 9 million Day 11 - ALT 12 AST 15 4 week - LFTs normal - detected (same sample sent for v/l showed undetected) :/ 6 week - UND 12 week EOT - UND SVR4 SVR12 | |
