Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Finally after waiting for ever I just heard from Gilead ..I am now on the momentum program They said the meds should be in within the week and I will go for baseline bloodwork
I have to do 24 weeks of Sov/ riba but after doing pegasys with the dreaded inteferon I can only hope it is a little better!!
I have squeaked and agitated for this for months now I am happy but also nervous as this is not the first time treating >I may be on here lots but who knows
Thank all for your advice and help accessing this treatment .
I am hoping/praying that this is the last tx I ever have to take

I am geno 3a hard to treat with stage 4 cirrhosis ,so it seems most people here with cirrhosis have to take riba even with Harvoni .
in Canada Harvoni is only approved for geno1
The trials look good for geno 3 so far so Im sure it will be accepted here too in the next couple of years ..also daklinza islooking really good for geno 3in trials .but Im hoping counting on that this will do the trick and I wont have to retreat
Any I deas from those who did Sov/riba
is it best to take it in the am or pm ..Trissa ,or havHope ??
Thanks
