    Understandable that you’re disappointed in having to set a new end date. We G3s take a little longer sometimes. Hang in there.

    Great post Cheese. Plenty of us can relate. I sure can. And nobody round here gives a damn how a person got it. :)

    Socked in the gut to hear this Splitdog. Got no words of wisdom, just I’ll be hoping for the best for you.

    Well, I just took my last dose of Sof/Dac. I ended up doing 18 weeks. I never got another VL test done after the 4 week mark. My understanding is that VL doesn’t change after reaching UND while on TX. I had a comp. metabolic done a couple weeks ago (to check cholesterol & stuff) and still had low ALT & AST. I’ll go get an EOT 4 weeks done but I wanted to post before any blocks go into effect for Australians. This site has meant so much to me and I hope we won’t lose touch due to the trouble. I am really grateful to all of you (wherever you are) who answer questions, welcome folks, graciously explain, share yourselves & make wise, funny or rebellious comments about big pharma. One thread that is amazing is “I live here”. Really something.
    Anyway, I’ll keep checking on you guys. We are in a club together & every SVR feels like a club victory to me.
    Thank you James for what you’ve done.

    Thanks Gaj for addressing the inappropriate injection of partisan politics into this topic. This is definitely not the place for it.

    Hi HepCat,
    My story is under patient stories “US/AUS Fix”. I’m 3a. GP2U will give you a script for two 12 week supplies. I simply sent the script by email to Kingswood Pharm in Australia & they shipped 12 weeks worth right away. Actually, I had to follow up with a phone call & they are very nice to talk to. Anyway, I could have filled the second batch anytime. (Who would know what the timeline was? I don’t think anyone is paying that much attention).
    I was only planning to do 12 weeks. Made a last minute decision to go a few weeks longer so, simply called Kingswood and they filled it. The script was already on file. I’m sure redemption would be just as streamlined. The reason I chose the KW route was I was anxious to get started & at the time, the thought of making one phone call to make it happen was very alluring to me. When I did fill the second round, I only wanted to add 6 weeks to the original 12, and KW was kind enough to accommodate that with the appropriate price reduction. Some others on here have gone the KW route too & seem to be doing well.


    Cheers

    Hi Hit The Road,
    Thanks for your well wishes. Timing for 1/2 doses will work out fine for my timeline. They estimated through a “Fibrosure” (blood tests) that I am F1-F2. So, even though I think 12 weeks was enough, I figure if I go another 4 weeks that’s a little extra insurance. But I ordered 6 more weeks worth. I might take it all but right now I feel like 16 weeks should do it. I didn’t even consider going another 12. I just think that would be overkill. For one thing, I’m a pretty small person & I figure my dosing is on the heavy side already because of it.
