Hello, the forum!
Permalink  
 

Hello, I´ve found this forum three weeks ago, and it´s true, it´s a life safer!. I feel better, and when I feel bad I think, "ok, I can share my fears and questions in the fórum". Ah! and I´ve learn a lot.

Welcome,

 You say you will begin  a new treatment next summer, just oral, Oh my god! that is possible? You are very lucky, Don´t be afraid.

Regards

Thank you, JoAnneh, and congrats on your SVR. Awesome! smile

 

Hey, mallani, thanks for the greet! 

 

Hi Matt,

And thanks you for your response. aww 

My liver/hcv specialist tells me next summer/2014 the new oral pill will finally be available... The trials were largely successful, particularly on my genotype, 1b.

I am so happy for this break-through drug, at last, I've been waiting since diagnosis, for this...

I appreciate the community & hcv support! biggrin

Hello Lida 

Welcome to the forum you have found a good place for for all things HCV. You will be able to gain insight into many areas of treatment and everyday concerns about living with Hep-C.

if you need answers fast you can always use the search engine, otherwise posting a question or concern is a common way for others in the forum to help.

Hoping all is well, waiting until next summer will allow you to choose some of the new treatment options.

Matt
