Welcome to the forum. My husband finished 48 weeks of Victrelis nearly a month ago and is recovering from treatment. You'll find the forum a great place for encouragement and information. Caroline

Hi Jumpy! I had to lol at your name. It sounds like you have a supportive medical team, and now you've found a forum family to help see you through treatment. Best of luck! Karen:)

Hi Marian,
Good to welcome a Kiwi. I'm from Brisbane, but am currently in London, celebrating the end of my 48 weeks of triple Rx with Victrelis.
Good luck, you're on a great Trial. Cheers mate.

Welcome Marian, this is a great forum with lots of info. The search at top of page works great. I finished 48 weeks of triple with Victrelis almost 4 weeks ago. Been undetected since 8th or 12th week, brain fog still getting me.
Stick around and keep us informed at your progress..~Cheers~

Hi Justjim, I'm sorry to hear that the boceprevir failed, but I do know that aside from the Sapphire Trial, there are the Gilead and BMS trials and both of these also have very high success rates so there is plenty of hope.

Good luck with your treatment. I researched that study and it has a great cure rate. I just finished 24 weeks of interferon/ribavirin/boceprivir and it didn't work. It was my second attempt at treatment. I am looking forward to the new easy drugs that really work. Wishing you the best.

I have finally decided to register after lurking here for the last few months. I was told about this forum by the research nurse I see for the Abbvie Sapphire Clinical Trial. I have just completed three months of placebo and am now into my second week of the real thing.

Hi Nurschic, good for you! I spend quite some time daydreaming about what it might be like to be rid of this. As I said in my post to Justjim there are several other drug trials for new drugs that have very high success rates. I am in New Zealand and it may be easier here because we are a small country, but I was able to get myself onto the Sapphire Trial by being very persistant, both with my doctor and by calling the clinical trials people myself. If you are interested in drug trials, this link is for a website that lists clinical trials throughout the world:
