What Sven said

SVR 12 SVEN! YEAH!!!

So happy for you brother. You’ve slain the dragon.

Time for some fireworks!

Just a guess, but this may be the difference between obtaining medication through the REDEMPTION trials – and purchasing directly from Beacon. Both methods for obtaining medications were considered, but it was ultimately my wife’s input that tipped the scales toward REDEMPTION trials for me

My cost for meds, value added services like guaranteed customs clearance, guaranteed delivery, follow up from Monkmed physicians. etc. was US $1,600.

Once again, considering that it is the weekend, that Bangladesh is a full day ahead of us here in the US, and that Friday is a day of worship there, I’d be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

It never hurts to double check paperwork, etc. to make sure account numbers and other details are correct.

For most here, including me, the hardest part is waiting for the medications to arrive.

Many others here have had a very good experience with Beacon. Fingers crossed for you, but I suspect everything will work out fine.

I had concerns as well, and those concerns remained to one extent or another until my first blood tests came in. Let me tell you there is nothing like the feeling one gets when we actually start winning after having given up ground to this virus for years.

Hang in. Remember there are time zone differences, sabbath day differences, etc.

It would be nice to see a healthcare program which didn’t involve stuffing the pockets of Big Pharma fat cats at the expense of American and frankly, world taxpayers.

The only way we get there is by bringing drug prices down, and not just down a little, but dramatically down. Down to the level where patients can actually afford the medications which keep them alive without mortgaging their homes and futures to stay above ground, and keep shovels full of dirt out their faces.

For the time being, we are on our own, just as we were a month ago, and the month before that – and arguing among ourselves, and endlessly rehashing the US election and shoving our personal politics down the gullets of whoever happens to drop into this forum doesn’t help people get well, or find their way to an affordable cure for Hepatitis C.

If this forum has become about personal politics, then we might as well declare that, and say goodbye to reaching as many people in as many places around the world as we can, and just throw in the towel and yield the floor to Big Pharma, who are undoubtedly reading this thread with sincere delight.

By wearing our personal politics on our sleeves, we’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If you (meaning WE collectively) want to fight about politics, or shove your personal views down the throats of people who just came here looking for a cure, fine! I suggest we create a separate password protected area where forum members can bloody well have at it if they want to.

But, it doesn’t belong here.
