Em, you’re absolutely right on the cancer analogy – and its a frightening thought. My closest mate has stage 4 metastasised kidney cancer and to think that people in his position could have been denied something to save/extend their lives purely because of the most abject greed…enough to do your head in really.

We have already invented cures for some cancers:

Hey Doc,
Democracy-where the monkeys run the circus….gotta love it.
Gilead can charge what they can get and we can get what we can.
4 week labs-normal.
Normal-not just a cycle on a washing machine any more.
Thanks again,
Mike

And now watch our government be the first to sign the patent agreement in regard to zidelig , par for course hey. Essentially locking us out of any alternative affordable options for the next 5 years. And Roche has now got a guernsey as a combo, they owe me big time after duding me on a stage 2 trail back in the day. Em

emilio in an earlier post of yours.

” Talking with rachel from mesochem now to see if I can get 1/2 batch if not I’ll order a full course and go from there. . Em ”

How did you go with this enquiry,as I note you were at the time considering extending your tx to 18wks.
I am doing the same .Through circumstances too long winded to explain I am short 42 days of Sof,21 days of dac,and 18 days of Riba.
All quotes I have got (except for Mesochem),but including the Buyers Club,and Aust compounding chemists.resulted in prices that were so close to the 12 wk prices that I may as well get the 12 wks which will leave me with a heap to give/throwaway,which seems a waste.

Gen 1b 40yrs,tx naive, f3/f4.VL too high to quantify.
Started tx 12Oct.sof and riba India via greg.Dac from Mesochem.
4wk result virus not detected,all liver functions in normal ranges.
Only SE intermittent insomnia.Feel great and grateful otherwise

Hey Mike, when i spoke with rachel she was happy with that inquiry. However Ive buddied up with another member who is going the 18 week option and so we split it. She was fine with this via the club thereforeim sure you could arrange this. We,re going to lead iut with a sensible dose of riba. Em

Hi Everyone

Well my 6 week result won’t be happening, the lab said they didn’t get enough blood, which is bullshit. They had plenty more than the previous tmie? Anyway it’s back in the car today 2 hour round trip for 7 week testing grrrrrrrr. Something has occured at about week 6 and was really confident of UND this time. Frustrating as this just murks the water for me moving forward. Anyway all good!

The something that has occured? Well it’s another level of wellbeing and clarity and if this is HCV free I want it and I want it now. Liver function looks awesome though. Em

Sorry Em, to hear of the stuff-up, especially when you have to travel so much just for bloodwork. I hate my trips to the RBWH -it’s usually a day lost and lots of sitting around waiting
But, those LFT’s look great! Hope that’s good news in the waiting

If I can quote Paul Keating here – “This is a beautiful set of numbers”

Great stuff, em. Sorry to hear about your fruitless trip, I hope there’s something good waiting for you…but it looks awesome so far!

hey, just a dumb question, these methods of calculations for viral loads have changed a few times over the years to the point of confusing me somewhat, so I just wanted to be certain I was reading it right, these are my most recent results from a couple months ago, PRIOR to my taking any treatment, can someone confirm or correct what they are saying on my number of copies? does this mean I had 120 thousand, nine hundred forty three, or is it some exponential display of millions? I should be going in for bloodletting next week to get my 4 week results, so I wanted to have an accurate idea of what these prior results are. Thanks all.
