new treatment

[mydear52]

anyone else starting treatment with the new drugs sofosbuvir/ledipasvir. i took my first pill this afternoon.  i'm feeling so anxious about the whole thing and i really need support from others who are also being treated with these new trial drugs and those who have been through treatment and finished. it would help so much to hear how your doing and for me to share how i'm doing.

i've been selected to for a 8 week trail being done at NY Presbyterian Hosp.... my geno type is 1B, i'm at grade 2 stage 1/cirrhosis

i really dont know much about hep C even those i've done a lot of reading about it.

Well when you ask....."anyone else starting treatment with the new drugs sofosbuvir/ledipasvir" .... and one responds with..."feel free to email me about how you feel or if u need any support.i am genotype 1a-waiting for this to be approved dec.6th(supposedly)"

Waiting for this to be approved, how is one supposed to take it...... Geez

From Hectors post

"DR. says if I can hold on there are drugs coming thru for FDA approval, with high success rate, unlike inter-feron " "GENO-1"
It appears your doctor is misinformed about the new treatment that has applied for FDA approval by Gilead. For genotype 1 treatment naive patients, the treatment will be Sofosbuvir in combination with RBV and peg-IFN for patients with genotype 1, 4, 5 and 6 HCV infection. So the next new treatment to come to market in early 2014 for genotype 1 patients will have peg-interferon.
