"Drink a lot of water then drink some more! "

...and then drink some more!!  I am holding steady at 2 gallons per day.

"Yes you will feel sick but just take it one day at a time. Don't think about how long treatment is."

From what I have read here, treatment experiences vary greatly.  I have been very fortunate not to have side effects.  I have some fatigue and have felt "flu-like" symptoms from time to time.  Both minor and usually short lived.  Your experience will be just that…yours.  How well you will tolerate the meds is impossible to say.

Thanks so much . I sure will try. It is on my mind all the time  . I am  Putting my trust in God to get me through this and all you wonderful people here who have been so great. Even though I dont know you personally I thank God for your insight and wonderful thoughtfullness to help us all . I could not start my treatment till first of the year becase of financial reasons.. But where there is a wil there is a way. Thanks an  keep up the good work

I don't have the phone numbers but there is help for drugs if you qualify financially.  I know the new drugs have a pt assist program, I had a $45 co pay.  The meds are very expensive, I think a month costs $19,000 for all 3 meds.
