Great post Rohcvfighter. Unfortunately in the vast majority of countries, politicians are not willing / able to provide real help to HCV patients, it’s patients that must help themselves, that’s the reality.

That’s just amazing Songbird, I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now, congratulations!!

We all wish you the best of luck lifepivoting on your next test results

That is awesome news Sonja, congratulations This vast improvement in health and quality of life is typical of people who achieve SVR. It’s also remarkable how the liver starts immediately healing itself once it is virus free.

Hello Kansuke, some people love to help, and this forum has quite a few of them.
I’m not sure how easy it is to get a copy of your prescription from a doctor in Belgium, and you should try your best, however, if you’re not able to get it, you can get a new prescription from Dr James Freeman, who is a world renowned Hep C expert, through GP2U https://gp2u.com.au/, the online doctor service based in Australia. You would simply create an account there, upload your test results to the account, and book an appointment time that is suitable for you. The actual appointment takes place by video and lasts about 20 minutes after which your prescription will be ready in your account files, and the cost is about 70 USD. Jan at GP2U will be happy to help with any inquiries regarding the service, her email is Jan@gp2u.com.au

The brand name (non-generic) medications Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir (Sovaldi + Daklinza) is the most expensive Hepatitis C treatment, the price is about 100,000 USD for 3 months of treatment because they are made by two different companies (Gilead and Bristol-Myers Squibb). So even though it’s a very effective treatment for all genotypes, it’s not prescribed by doctors due to the cost. Doctors instead prescribe Epclusa to patients who need a pan-genotypic HCV treatment because Epclusa is less than half the cost and just as effective. However, since FixHepC supplies licensed generic medications (not brand name medications), the astronomical high cost of the medications doesn’t come into play. So if a patient needs to be treated with Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir, he/she can easily get this treatment.

Hello Kansuke and welcome to the forum . You’ve come to the right place for Hep C treatment information, there are many great and very experienced people here who love to help.

I’m from Egypt so I’m a bit familiar with Tour N’ Cure which is a Hep C treatment program offered by the Egyptian pharmaceutical company ‘Pharco’. It’s a good endeavor and Pharco’s medications are of good quality (they were proven to be bio-equivalent to Gilead’s very expensive medications in medical trials), however the program didn’t take off due to its relatively high cost. As you mentioned, good quality generics can be ordered online from the comfort of your home and delivered to your door step for much less. Dr James Freeman and FixHepC have been doing just that for over 3 years now. If you look around the ‘Patients Stories’ section of the forum, you will be able to read dozens of stories from patients who were successfully cured by medications supplied by FixHepC. ‘MonkMed’ was a supplier in the past for FixHepC from India, but I believe that right now, FixHepC sources its medications directly from a reputable Indian manufacturer, ‘Hetero Drugs’, which produces its Hepatitis C medications under license from Gilead Sciences® (the originator), which guarantees that they are bio-equivalent.

To order medications online through FixHepC, you only need a doctor’s prescription. Once you have it, you can go to the order page and place your order, it’s pretty simple. They also offer money back delivery guarantee for complete peace of mind.

The cure rate with modern medications (called DAAs) has been proven to be about 95%, so yes, after 3 months of treatment, you have a 95% chance of being completely cured. For the remaining 5%, re-treatment is entirely possible with extremely high success rates as well.

Regarding the best treatment option from the table you attached, the cure rate of 95% that I mentioned has been proven with the following medications : Sofosbuvir + Ledipasvir (Harvoni) which treats genotypes 1,4,5,6 ; Sofosbuvir + Velpatasvir (Epclusa) which treats all genotypes ; and Sofosbuvir + Daclatasvir (Sovaldi + Daklinza) which treats all genotypes. More importantly, these medications also have generics available (not all originator medications have generics available).

Wow, what a story Stongbird, thank you for sharing it. I knew big pharma was disgusting greedy, but that’s just pure evil stuff

Hi Hovis, welcome to the forum and the very best of luck with your upcoming treatment. I’m not a doctor but according to the international treatment guidelines posted here https://fixhepc.com/genotype-specific-hepc-treaments.html , to achieve cure, genotype 3 patients need only 12 weeks of Epclusa if they have not been treated before and do not have severe fibrosis / cirrhosis. If you have been treated before or have severe fibrosis / cirrhosis, then Ribavirin is added to your 12 weeks of Epclusa or Epclusa is extended to 24 weeks. If your prescription was from a local doctor and you need a second doctor’s opinion for complete peace of mind, you can book an appointment with Dr James Freeman on GP2U.
