Thank you Dr. James30 September 2017 at 10:05 am #26878Hi and welcome,
no such thing as naff. Glad you got here! I did similar treatment to you, the year of every 2nd day then the peg. Makes us pretty tough. It is been exactly 2 years since I heard of fixhepc- and a bit over a year since that sof/dac did the trick for my geno 3 and cirrhosis- which is rapidly retreating like a glacier in modern times. Good luck, keep in touch

SVR 4 +121 October 2017 at 11:07 am #26881Hi Sandcountry and Welcome,
You have quite a story – thanks for sharing it. You’ve fought a long, hard battle with your virus and as if that wasn’t enough, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been battling prostate cancer as well.
Don’t worry about the technology – I still bumble my way through the site. Your forum colleagues totally understand!
I’m so happy that you’ve started this HepC treatment because you are now on the best path to a cure. Sometimes it takes a little longer to find the right formula but I am now officially cured after having the virus for decades. There are usually minimal side effects for most people especially compared to what you have gone through with your other treatment regimes.
I found Ribavirin knocked me around a little more than the other medications. A lot of us have found that very simply drinking lots of water, trying to get enough sleep, eating well and generally being kind to ourselves during the treatment can ease any side effects.
Good luck – looking forward to reading your updates.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for your retreatment so I’m really pleased to hear that you have started.

1 October 2017 at 8:57 pm #26883Yes, it’s been a year since my failed first round. So I figured now is the time. I wanted to wait for Vox, but I suppose it will come out sooner or later. If it comes out soon, I’ll pick it up for the 12-24 weeks. Thanks you guys.
