Greetings
You’ll find very helpful and kind people here that will direct you to the right areas in the forum.
In my honest opinion treat now through the trials. Your GP or a GI will take your LFT’s (liver function tests with viral loads). It’s time to go forward now, even the $1500-2000 total is a lot you’ll probably never get this chance again. We all don’t know when trials will end too.
Good luck and treat now, you won’t be sorry and you’ll be HCV free before summer!

Cured!Hi all
Here is the doctors notes and the LFT’s were normal. He thinks my score of F3 very well could be a F1 within the year. He wants to check my liver by ultra sound every 6 months. Just to say I’m elated would be an understatement, however it is still surreal to me on many levels. I will continue to move forward, even though my psyche is a rollercoaster. That is very strange and I hope it subsides very soon.
Again thank you for your support, I may have done it without you but having you all here has made it so much easier with the camaraderie and just genuine caring for each other’s wellness.

Cured!Hi all
Here is the doctors notes and the verbal LFT notes are normal as well. He thinks my score of F3 very well could go down to a F1 within the year. He wants to check my ultra sounds every six months.
Just to say I’m elated would be an understatement, however it is still surreal to me on many levels, but moving forward I am.
Again I thank you all for your support, I may have done it without you but having you all here made I’d so much easier with all the camaraderie and genuine ladies be for each person here. It is true we all have amazing stories on ow we got here, what happened in between and finally the crusendo of the ending of treatment.
You are all an incredible group of people, it is amazing!In good health all too.

Cured!My dry mouth, in which I had never experienced prior to treatment is still happening. My LFT’s are normal after basic tests so nothing there. My GP is going to check it our a bit more bug I was advised to buy the topical again for my nighttime. If anyone has any info please let me know.
Thanks all for your support all the time.

Cured!Here is a brief update after tx & my general well being:
1) rollercoaster on my psyche, wow!
2) slight pain on & off in my side last 2-3 days
3) more fatigued than usual last couple daysI will be going into the monitoring GI for LFT’s on Tuesday, strangled I feel I need to have my fingers crossed.
Just a rollercoaster with my psyche, I’m just off. I felt so off a few posts back, I had to 100% edit it all after reteading them, sorry if I offended anyone.
I’m not sure if it is the meds leaving my system or my system adjusting but I hope it subsides.
I’m also back at my local church for griefshare, having all my family 100% gone continues to be a weight that bares down on me every now and then. I thank everyone here for all the good words.
I’ll report back after the LFT’s are done.

Just like most things nowdays, you gotta do it yourself.
“That’ll be $840, sir.”
“Okay. Here. Thanks for the ride”.Awesome reply! You Split have the right attitude, you’ve got this. The main populous is always arguing “I got screwed”, “I got taken”……while the winners silently say ” line ’em up, I’m still going to win”. Attitude and Enthusiasm is what winners are made of.
You Split are a winner, you’ve got this!

Cured!Indeed my brother! A big thank you to you and all for helping me on this journey that I knew held the only chance for me to win my life & health back. The possibility of a new lease on life held so much promise and then finally delivering the final blow to this bastardized disease just prior to Christmas. Wow what a frign present!
But I’ll never forget the ones who didn’t make it and helped pave the way for us to be treated. May they rest in peaceful slumber, forever knowing they paid the ultimate price so we can live on.
It is still surreal and at times melancholy but I know I dodged the proverbial bullet by finding my way here and choosing to treat rather than question it.
I 100% hope that all who are on this journey with us may see the same results in their future, it is truly life changing.
In good health my friend /s.

It could’ve been very meaningless, but I think the thread should be locked so no divisiveness can exist.
In regards to fixhepc and Dr. Freeman it’s an incredible program and I’m glad that you’re on it, may you be SVR very soon.

The R& D may suffer for a short term but how can that statemeant lead to a price increase?
Trump is NOT my favorite person but he’s after big Pharma, go get ’em!You post once, and it’s political in nature. I dont usually comment on the political stuff but all can tell every Clinton advocate will do anything to bash Trump, lets just get lower prices on medicine so all can be treated, not just a few.
This thread should be locked, it is political in nature and not helping anybody here.
