Congratulations to you too Infinity Dreams! It’s a great feeling isn’t it?

Best wishes for the future x

Thanks Coral. I agree that we’re very lucky to have Dr F’s advice. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate the support and advice I’ve been given by him. We’re also very lucky to have the support of the wider online generic treatment community. I actually feel as though I’m in better hands than if I’d been treated and monitored by my NHS consultant and nurse specialists.

I sincerely hope that by posting my experiences and questions publicly, others will gain too. Best wishes to all.

Well I decided to take the plunge and order a further 4 weeks sof/Dac. It will be dispatched from India tomorrow.

James, do you have any-up-to-date stats on success rates for previously treated G3s with F2-3?

I like to think that other people will benefit from reading my posts when they’re gathering information​ to base their decisions on. I’m so very grateful for all the information I’ve gathered from reading forums like this. I’ve come across some really caring, helpful people.

I was intending to extend to 16 weeks but arthritis is so bad that I can’t walk more than about 20 metres. I have inflammatory autoimmune arthritis (Sjogrens Syndrome) as well as advanced osteoarthritis in hips and knees. I strongly suspect that the hep C treatment has brought on a flare of the autoimmune arthritis because it’s increased dramatically since about week 3. I’m being assessed for hip replacement this week.

For those reasons, I made a decision to take my chance with 12 weeks treatment and have another go with Epclusa if I relapse. That way, i would get the surgery over with before retreating.

I sincerely hope I won’t relapse, the autoimmune arthritis will settle and the hip replacement will make new woman of me.

I suspect the consultant was eating sour grapes when she said retreating might not be an option. She was quite surprised that I’d been treated and cleared without her input.
