Coral, I know your disappointment is real and your anxiety level is no doubt up there too, but it’s so wonderful to see that you’re not letting it get mastery over you. Focusing on the next step is the right thing to do and letting yourself grieve for the loss of a friend is a positive step in taking the focus off your own personal reason for grief. You’ve lost a battle and that is sad, but not yet the war.
It’s been a huge let down after putting so much time and effort and emotion into this last fight. It’s left some scars I’m sure. It’s raised some doubt too, maybe. Do indeed take the time you need to absorb it all. We all understand the necessity of that for you.
But know that, you’re not letting it paralyze you into inaction is an encouragement to us all as well, and especially those like myself, who are still anxiously looking for svr12. Thank you for that Coral

I just read the updated aasld guidelines 7 july 2016. Sof+vel+riba for 24 weeks is good for retreatment, regardless of ravs, according to studies by prof gane.

U may wish to consult dr freeman whether u need to add asunaprevir/simeprevir like LG.

Please be careful there – this study supports 24 weeks of sof/vel/rib after failed 4-12 weeks of NS5A (vel) containing regimen – http://www.natap.org/2016/EASL/EASL_11.htm .

We need data from studies about retreatment with sof/vel after failure of 24 weeks course of sof/dac or sof/led. If such data will be good, then sof/vel generics may become “second line” therapy for relapsers after 24 weeks course.
