Hi GF,
Just been reading your story.
Have you had any previous treatment in years gone by ?
It looks like Australia is a lucky country.
As you know the Tasmanian connection, GP2U, FIXHEPC BUYERS CLUB & Greg Gefferys .
But now the government has put these hepC meds on the PBS which means that you pay just $6.20 or $36 depending if you're on a pension or working per 28 tab bottle.
Like you, I'm G1a, but my Fibrosis is 3-4 bridging Cirrhosis .
Back in 2003 I was treated with Peg Interferon & Ribavirin for 12 months.
End of treatment I was undetected but relapsed 3 months later.
So I started on Sofosbuvir, Ledisbovir (China) & Ribavirin (India) 22nd October.
At week 4 my LFT's all dropped to the normal range & my PCR was <12 Detected.
At week 12 my LFT's stayed in the normal range & my PCR was Neg Undetected.
So on the 6th April will be the 24 week treatment finished. Yippee.
I wish you all the very best in gaining SVR 12 & 24.
