I know how you feel but think its a cop out for your doctor to blame past treatment for failure, medication that will target the RAV’s is whats needed I believe.

I would add though that it seems like your virus is appearing very hard to treat in that you have hit it pretty hard already.

Wow, that’s gotta be rough. But you’re at the right place.

So, someone at the University of Pennsylvania steered you to our little forum … awesome. Our Dr. James is really making a name for himself.
I’ll also advise you to schedule a “skype style” appointment with him. You can do that at GP2U.com. I’d suggest having your paperwork at hand to send to him.

In the mean time, take some time and read around the forum to get a feel for it. It’s not as hard as it seems at first and there is a lot of good information here and lots of good people to help. Usually people will click the “Recent Topics” tab to see what’s being discussed recently, or use the “Index” tab to look for specific subjects, but there is also a “Search” on the top of the page if you need it.

And as for other options, there are more new meds in the pipeline, so be certain you’re going to kill this dragon as long as you don’t give up.

For example, Velpatasvir is not yet approved for sale anywhere on the planet …. but …. I am aware of someone (who has not yet approved me identifying him/her) who has already received delivery of Velpatasvir. The price, including shipping, was US$1050.00 US$1060.00 for 12 weeks treatment (9 grams). And it’s from a source which has repeatedly proven itself trustworthy.

So, after you have your meeting with Dr. James, if he thinks your next choice should be that drug then I can guarantee you he can also tell you exactly how to acquire it.

Welcome to our forum.

Might have to wait for awhile for new meds. The abt530 looks very promising

I like your attitude Glen,
You’ve beaten the “beast” in your heart, now, push on to beating it in the flesh. As many have said, you’re in the right place and everyone here is behind you. You can be certain Dr. Freeman will go the distance with you. He would’ve taken into consideration the factors involved in your meds getting to you in a timely fashion, so just follow his directions.
In the meantime, why not cheer yourself with a little chuckle … BTW. The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious.

Hi Glen, So sorry to read of your difficult battle, but pleased to hear Dr F is on the case.
I wish you every success with your new journey.
