Congratulations Dan! It worked! Enjoy your HepCfreedom.
That’s such good news Meg. Well done you! It’s a great milestone on the path to HEPC freedom.
Thanks Ariel, Beaches and Matt for your thoughts. I am with my Dad at the moment during his last days as he has nearly lost his battle with prostate cancer. I’m a bit of a mixture of intense sadness and side effects at the moment. I’m staying with family and their job is to remind me to take my medication! Will post about my treatment when I surface from all of this but I enjoy reading everyone’s posts in these quiet waiting times.
Hi Ariel,
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I am into the second week of my new meds. I’ll post separately once things have settled in. I’m on the Viekira Pak, Ribaviran, and Solvadi. Quite the cocktail with a few more side effects this time round.
Thank goodness that rogue tooth has gone. Take it easy. Xx

Oh Ariel you poor Mermaid. Toothache is the absolute pits. I hope those antibiotics move their butts and do their stuff so that the dentist can make the pain go away. Thanks for the timely reminder about the colonoscopy. Hep C is notorious for taking all of the attention. Wishing you a dentist with small hands and a speedy recovery.
I’m catching up with lots of good news. Pat1, then Isiang4 and now you Dabara. Absolutely Fabulous
Isaing4 is SVR24! Well done for fighting for your health and winning. I love a happy ending
What a heartfelt post Peach. Huge congratulations on your SVR12! I think you can have a social drink now
Thanks for posting this Mike. It’s such a great article that covers so many of the key issues including the current cost of HepC treatment set by Gilead, the fact that cheaper generics are available, the conflict of interest of key players and the role of government etc.
Good to see the following words printed in this journal:
Although prices are often justified by the high cost of drug development, there is no evidence of an association between research and development costs and prices; rather, prescription drugs are priced…………..primarily on the basis of what the market will bear. Yes!
Great news Fitz. Well played! Good luck with the SVR milestones.
The guitarist is the fabulous Orianthi who was born in Adelaide, South Australia. She was also due to accompany Michael Jackson on the ill fated This Is It tour. She can be seen in some of the rehearsals with him. She’s a fabulous guitarist – great post.

What a wonderful post from the heart Pat1. I am so very happy for you and what a good doctor to say “I checked 3 times”. It showed that he really did understand the importance of these results to you.
Your next task is to really take it in and enjoy the freedom. Many of us have carried the secret and the virus for so long that I think sometimes that needs to be a conscious thing.
On a personal note thanks so much for your well timed PM. It meant a lot.
Enjoy the day Pat1.
