Cindi and J what wonderful news

Cindi you are everything that embodies a loving, caring and nurturing mother. I can’t even imagine your relief (and your husband’s too).

I also had both my kids (well 34 yo daughter and 37 yo son) tested when I found out I had the virus and the other half as well and thankfully all was clear. The fear I felt when I was diagnosed (not for myself but for the kids) was overwhelming at the time.

I still can’t master the dancing bananas but here are lots of smiles instead

Yes, the TPP was not written for patient benefit.

Yes, you definitely don’t want to be transiting borders carrying narcotics, prescription or not.

Without knowing which country you are in all that can be said is general.

The Gulf Cooperation Council Middle Eastern area has no DAA patents and typically allows medication import provided there is a prescription, and sometimes a letter from the doctor saying “this is essential medicine”.

So it should be easy enough to just have it sent directly to you via courier.

Hi Defeat. Some of us are on the tail end of our journey, others, like you, just the beginning, I had virtually no side effects from Sof/Led other than a bit of insomnia. Good luck with your treatment, you are in good hands.

NS5A RAVs are typically quite fit so don’t decline quickly. They are not created by treatment, they are selected. Many people have detectable NS5A RAVs at baseline, but all that means is they have enough to count.

If you get the NS5B RAV S282T you do have a problem but that causes on treatment failure, not relapse.

I see no logical basis to delay retreatment for most people, provided we can do something different from last time as in pick one or more of longer, stronger or different drugs.
