weird moderating. I did 2 comments that had links, they survived 12 hours and disappeared then I was blocked, Got round that and tried an innocuous comment which made it in. Now I see my first 2 are back, and the low key one is gone. Genotype 3 30 years, 2x treatment interferon/ribavirin non responder. Cirrhosis 17 years. Fibroscan, decompensating, 40 down to 22 by 29/3/16- now down to 6.5, normal, no cirrhosis. Started Buyers Club Sof/Dac 14 Nov 15. SVR 12 29/0716 | |

My comment with a link has been removed. Follow Up 11/19/17 morning Just posted again but did not include link. Rather just the name FixHepC. Hopefully it will stay up this time. Other comments that mention FixHepC are still up at this time.

Big Pharma is at it again, actually they never stop, their BS is endless!! The US is shameful when it comes to generics, oh well. Nothing I can do about it except speak my mind, which I do. The below quote from the article speaks volumes, it's a shame they closed the thread and removed posts!! "To keep prices high, Gilead has constructed an elaborate thicket of patents around its treatment portfolio—and the soonest a generic competitor will be able to enter the market at this time is 2034. " G1a dx'd in 1992, Biopsy F2 VL 8mill +. Tried tx with Interferon/Riba, back in 2008 didn't last long it felt horribly ugly!! I stopped tx, after 5 weeks!! Started tx 6/1/16 with Harvoni. 12 Month Labs= UND | |
