My name is Kathy, and I live in Karamea, an isolated village in New Zealand. I had Hepatitis C for over 30 years and believed that I would die with this disease. I had heard about the new anti-virals available in the USA, but the high cost meant that this was an impossible dream. I found out about FixHepC from a newspaper article and immediately made contact.

After sending away the appropriate paperwork, it was only a couple of weeks before the Generic Harvoni arrived at my door. The side effects were minimal, and I began to feel better within days of the treatment. At three months after the end of treatment, the hep C virus was undetected in my blood. It has been a year now, and I now have the energy to live my life.

The burning feet, aching joints, itchiness, mind fog and fatigue have gone. I did not realise how truly miserable and ill I had been until I was better. I am so grateful that the ethical people of FixHepC made it possible for me to be well.
