Actually might be better to clarify … treatment for many and that would be classed as the majority would be “‘years” away …

3-4 years might be somewhat optimistic … another billion after 5 years?

So many people will come out of the woodwork now that it’s on the PBS.

The other thing to consider is that the liver/gastro units in all the major hospitals in this country could not possibly handle the influx of people wanting treatment now. The liver clinic in my town can only handle 40 patients maximum.

More questions than answers at this point … heavily triaged is a certainty

I don’t have a great deal of faith in bureaucracy, if you are seriously ill I wish you all the best you deserve it as for everyone else, don’t hold your breath.

As I said generics are way to go.

Howdy folks …

Haven’t commented previously but thought it’s a good time. I’m a 54 year old G3a non-cirrhotic, contracted hepc a loooong time ago, started tx on the 14/10/15 with Sof/Dac … 1 month VL test came back undetected …

I was a Int/Rib reject in 2005 … it seems previous treatment has little bearing on the outcome as far as the research I’ve seen, and personal experience … even the chirrhotic’s seem to do well with this combination and I see 1b folk are using this as well?

Anyhow goodluck everyone …
