The thing is, I’m now down to 2 more weeks of treatment. Then I have the post treatment labs, then 12 week labs. Would starting daclatasavir change the test results? I don’t think I could bear to think I was at SVR and then have it come back.

I talked to my doctor’s office about what to do if treatment fails (I’m at stage 4 so I don’t think my chances are that good). She said they would wait for a new pan genotypic med to be approved later in the year. I don’t knòw if it is an entirely new medication of a combination of the other ones. (for all I know, it’s sovosbuvir with daclatasavir).

If not – I was wondering about doing another course of treatment and using generics (while we can still import them into the US, before greedy Gilead shuts us down completely). I would need to find out from Dr Freeman about doing it, for example, how long to wait between treatments, and whether to use all three drugs: sovosbuvir, daclatasavir and ribavirin.

I wondered about that, now that I’m more aware of treatment options. When I started, I was offered only the regimen I’m on. It may be too late now, I have only 3 more weeks of treatment. I wish I had known then what I know now.

Hi.
I’m in the US, too. I’m one of the lucky people here whose insurance approved meds but who knows what will happen next – if I need more treatment, they might not. I also heard from my doctor that my insurance copays are going way up to 29% of medication cost.

Are there still options so we can import drug from abroad? I heard that there s a problem with India – Gilead is trying to shut dwn export of Twinvir. Is that true?
Thanks.
