Hey Lisa!

Hopefully it's going to be available soon. Acceptance is taking hold and the various governments are realizing Sovaldi/Harvoni's effectiveness. At 95+ rates of success, it's proving to be a smart financial decision. It obviously is proving its medical value!

Oh they know it alright, I had a perscription last year. It is pricing negotiation that is the issue. I understand there are 66 thousend people here knowingly infected and can't access currently. Greedy insurance companies :/

What use is a perscription without the price agreed?

Hi Lisa,

Wow!!! What terrific news you have shared! I know how long you have waited for this chance and hearing your excitement is wonderful. I know it will be a long 2 weeks but the time will be filled with joy and hope. I so want this to work for you. We will all keep our fingers crossed and wish you all that you desire right now. Good luck! Let us know when you hear something. We'll be holding our breath!

Hi everyone,

I have been hiding in the real world, but busy with the hospital. Today I was implanted with two embyros, I wont know if they took for a couple of weeks. but either way, its wonderful to get the chance.

What was even better is they bought a new freezer so my other potential babies, that gives me other chances if this fails.

I gave my first bloods after all the hormones, injections and things. I will be interested how my liver took it considering all the drugs are metabolized through the liver, and of course normal protocol is after a patient has achieved SVR.

Anyway, I had an interesting chat with a South African Doctor that will be monitoring the the babies if they are born for HVC. We discussed about using very strong anti-virals just before birth as they had great success in South Africa. That is the course of action I will be taking. Anyway it is good to hear the statistic of only 5% vertical infection, with only 1% becoming chronic. :)

Anyway, wish me luck, will be a long two weeks.
