I will be 6 months SVR in mid-November, hopefully, if all goes well with my blood tests, Fibroscan and ultrasound. The waiting game once again but good things are worth waiting for!

 It is in the lords hands. 

If it was in the lord's hands I'm pretty sure he would just hand over the Friggin Harvoni.  Unfortunataely, this is in the hands of those who are all too human.  :)

Brownie is right.  Keep appealing and take good care of your health in the meantime.  It will work out.

Hang in there, John. It took 3 appeals for me to get the off-label Sovaldi/Olysio combo when it first came out and I have cirrhosis. The third time was approved when an independent doctor was added to the panel of decision makers. Persistence pays off!

I called my insurance company and Gilead about my appeal for harvoni. It looks like it is going to take a long time for my appeal, up to 30 days. My doctor faxed my appeal last Thurs. morning. Insurance company has not even put it in their system yet. It looks like the insurance is going to take their good old time and drag this out. I was told by Gilead support group that they probably will deny sovaldi too. The new meds are to dam expensive. The insurance companies don't want to fork over all of this money! Oh well, been waiting over 10 years for these meds, will just have to wait longer. I am so tired and worn out. Just have to be patient now. It is in the lords hands. I will say a prayer for all of you that are waiting, and for myself. God Bless.
