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.

Found out yesterday that I was approved for Harvoni! Have had HCV for 45+ years--VL low and am in good health so figured I would NEVER be approved, had to try. Feel so blessed, am guessing for 8 weeks, cannot wait to start. Don't know anything yet--when I'm starting, co-pay, just pleased as hell to get the letter after 3 "you need more bloodwork" letters. I don't respond to many posts, but do appreciate everyone's input and sharing! Thank you!
