We have not decided which tx to extend with for definite or for how long. We’re waiting for nxt round of tests and will make a decision week 10, which gives it 2 weeks for the meds to arrive safely hmy: Sofo/DAC has been mentioned.

Know what you mean re this thing taking up so much of our lives and those around us, really be have to have an iron will and to be so strong ! At times I find it exhausting mentally & physically. Anyway, onwards we go. Both GT1a and Sofo/Led. Maybe we should compare lifestyle habits in case there’s a pattern. (small pattern!) I was wondering whether I drank too much coffee in the morning and was also over-hydrating, Drs think with me I may have low absorption, but you seemed to absorb your meds ok, right from the start. I don’t think we can really know unless we have genetic testing and it shows resistant genes, you know? Maybe sometimes it just doesn’t work and it’s the luck of the draw. Anyhow, yes, we go forward – As I am extending, we can keep each other company heh

I am in cafe withdrawal, no morning coffee near taking med, allowing myself small cup 4 hrs later – Wah wah (as Ariel said) – The thing is coffee is a cleanser, Good for liver with HepC , but on meds?

Resistance testing needs to become more accessable to my way of thinking, but I’m not getting anywhere with that here in the UK.

I know, re coffee !! Arggg! but I am used to drinking loads of a morning, albeit mostly decaff since on meds with a small spoon of caff. I do wonder if I’ve been ‘flushing’ too much , you know?

Also, what is the thinking behind drinking lots of water? Flush again? Hmmm Is it flush to avoid sx? or flush is necessary for helping kidneys? I know a specialist nurse (Infectious diseases) he said when I started tx ‘Don’t over-hydrate’ … Does make you wonder .

Sounds like a good plan Tina, good on you and my best wishes for it all going well, xx

I can imagine your disappointment!

But hey, you really have another big chance at 4 weeks after EOT!
All of us are in the same boat till SVR12!

Good to have dr. James with a backup plan. Hopefully there are good choices for retreatment.

Big hug from here!

Hi Tina, damn sorry to read this news, but glad you are going right back at it, that’s exactly what I would do, hit them again while they are still down and regrouping, I’m a big believer in sofosbuvir and daclatasvir, seems to have worked well for me so far and was super easy for me–wishing you the best of luck on the next go round.
